Fender 72 Telecaster Thinline - Maple - Natural Ash Reviews

\'72 Tlel Thinline

P. Griffin
January 26, 2009

Rating: 10/10

Just received my new Tele Thinline. Not a guitar I would have had back in \'72 but what have I missed all these years? The build quality is second to none, all U.S.A. parts, neck joint and overall finish couldn\'t be better.
The setup is spot on right from the box. In my opinion, custom shop quality, bargain shop price.
