I'm no detective but i thought something looked kinda strange when i took the cover off my mim wrhb
.I had the cover off an original i had well over 20 years ago.This reminds me of a really cheap les paul copy i had when i was a kid.It was the brightest sounding l.p. ever.One day the bridge p.u. stopped working and i took it out to have a look when i popped the cover off i found a single coil strat like p.u. under the humbucker cover.No wonder i could never figure out why it always hummed so badly.Oh those crafty and oh so thrifty devils at fender stuck a cheapo mi who knows where humbucker in my wrhb case.I really liked the original '72 thinline i had way back when but it's hard to remeber exactly what it sounded like,but i was pretty sure the reissue was quite a bit different sounding.
