Thread: A new TL style Thinline in Seafoam Green.

  1. #1

    A new TL style Thinline in Seafoam Green.

    I've been playing a Dakota Red one of these and loving it. So I thought I'd get some in this Seafoam Green colour.

    They look amazing in the flesh.

    Haven't done the costings yet, but they should be around $289 with the Deluxe case (pictured).

    Cheers,

    Adam

    Nice colour. Great price too, especially with the case.

    No string-through-body option available? If not, does the guitar's construction allow you to do it yourself?

    finished thinline looks great Ads and as others said if it's under $300 with hardcase it's a bargain. It differs a bit from the TL-1TH has 2 humbuckers and hardtail. This has more of a tele style to it with 2 singles and tele bridge setup. Also gold hardware usually a bit more expensive.
    Presume the factory have built these, they have done a great job. Keen to hear a report how it plays and sounds
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in

    Hey Simon, no string through option I'm sorry. Does that make a difference, or is it just aesthetics?

    It can make a difference to the sound. I once had a Squier Affinity Tele that had a top-loading bridge. It certainly had a different sound and feel to another Squier Tele with a rear-loading bridge (even with similar replacement pickups). Fender themselves swapped to a top-loading bridge back in 1959 for a short while (it's obviously a cheaper construction method), but swapped back at some point in 1960 to rear-loading due to complaints from their users.

    There is nothing inherently wrong with top-loading bridges on Teles, it's just different (though with the cast alloy block saddles on my Squier they were very difficult to re-string) and you will get some players who prefer them. But I prefer the longer sustain that a rear-loading bridge gives. I've noticed a big difference in that on a couple of my bases which provide both options.
