Thanks for having me Jack, love the Thinline! And boy does yours sound great into that SRT 🙌 As you said, different but I think both of ours retain that similar shelved bass character that I associate with Thinlines.

My two G&L Asats are semi hollow body just like the Fender thinlines and they're great.

Finally, someone who showcases clean tones!

[ChadwickRider]

Function and fashion. My Thinlines are my favorite of all my guitars.

Thanks for creating the video and then sharing it, Great job!
Those of us out here in the real world that have Thinlines love to see thee kind of “confirmations “ that prove we made a smart choice. I love them so much that I have 4 different models. If you’re reading this and you don’t have a Thinline, get one ! They are awesome 😎

Great episode Jack! I love the airiness of these guitars, they are something special.

I have two Thinline Telecasters models, one a G&L Asat Classic and the other a Grote GT-150 and they are my favorite guitars out of around 25 other choices. What I like is that they are Tele's they are small bodied and being semi-hollow provides ample unplugged volume under certain conditions which make them both comfortable and loud enough to play unplugged in bed at night. They are also comparatively light in weight.
In my experience with the right amp and also some pedals I can pretty much make any electric guitar sound the way I want it to for each time I play it.
Unplugged if a guitar is loud enough to play during the quiet night time hours then that's all I want. The semi-hollowbody Thinline Teler's provide just enough volume unplugged to allow me to enjoy them and their acoustic tone. The fact that they are also small and light weight making them very comfortable to play hours at a time makes them my first choice.
I have many larger semi-hollowbody guitars and even several Hollowbody as well as many solidbody electric guitars and they all have a place, but boy my Thieline Tele's models are my choice so much more often than any of the others.
My Fender Telecaster has my favorite neck out of all my guitars and my Thinline Telecasters are the models that come the closest to replicating that wonderfully comfortable neck and that counts a lot toward their playability as well. - Peter age 72

I use it for Jazz. I have a Squier Tele Thinline CV 60, it has superb sound for the price.

When I was 14, I refinished an abandoned ‘57 Tele that my dad found in a pawnshop. The frets were worn out, it still had 50’s wiring, and it turned both of us off Tele’s. It wasn’t until 3 years ago, whenI heard some people getting beautiful tones out of Wilde Microcoil pickups, that I got the urge for a cheap tele to use with them. I liked the Squier CV 69 mahogany Thinlines best, but hated that skinny neck. Six months later, I completed a partscaster with that body, a fat roasted maple neck, microcoils, a 4-way switch and a piezo saddle setup. The feel, tones and light weight were so compelling that it became my #1 electric, and my beloved ‘09 PRS McCarty is long gone.

From Leo: I have a few Teles in various pickup configurations. My current favorite is a Charlie Christian neck. Your playing demo at 18:26 is clearly the Telecaster voice. Good demo / collaboration.

I have had a 72 thinline tele deluxe reissue since 2006 and it’s still my favorite instrument. Great tone and gorgeous. Although the really vintage low radius and fat neck took some getting used to, after having played an Ibanez prior.

[johndaugherty]

I love how your channel has blown up over the past few months. Could'nt happen to a better channel. And, as we all know, all the best picker's play Tele's!

[dragan]

Very nice guitar! Thick neck though is a challenge for players with smaller hands. Thanks for showcasing this beautiful guitar!

[mrcatfishjohnson]

Thanks Jack! This was really informative

[markdakel]

Excellent review of the ThinLine
I think you are spot on about the tone snd how it differs from the standard tele.

[chrishyde]

I have a Squire CV Thinline and it's a favourite. Particular like it's light weight, making it very comfortable to play.

[jonnybeck]

Sounding good, Jack
I played a Squier Thinline with an anodized scratchplate at GC the other day and (Lord) I wuz tempted...

I have a Squier Thinline, Chicago Music Exchange model, and I really like it. I appreciate that guitar more than my American Strat
