I own a 72 Thinline RI, it's a Sunburst maple neck and fret board. I think it's the lightest guitar I own, but it has a huge sound on the neck pickup and the center position. The neck has what I would call a biting sound not harsh a good lead sound that punches throuh the mix.
I'm sure the Deluxe would have simular sonic qualities, but it will be heavier than a Thinline. Just to add a little more confusion for you there is also the Telecaster Custom 72 RI, solid body that has a single coil in the bridge position. I traded mine for my Thineline. The 72 Thinline RI does have a 7.25" radius.
Good Luck
Scott
