I love Thinlines and jazz as well. I've got a '72 RI with VV Vibetron pups and a parts Thinline with single humbucker on the neck mostly for chord/melody stuff. I also like darker sounding Teles for jazz stuff.

For the price of a CS Thinline, I'd rather put together a couple of Thinlines with my choice of high quality body, neck, pups. etc... Sourced from either Warmoth, USACG, or Musikraft. A good example would be on this thread http://www.tdpri.com/forum/telecaste...ed-photos.html but with a Thinline body on both. Each to his own but this is what I'd do if I had the budget.

If money is no issue however, I wouldn't mind this CS Thinline on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2007-Fender-C...dZp1638Q2em122 or this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=200260776349 or simply get one or two built with my choice of specs. A Ron Kirn and/or a Rice built Thinline would be really nice.
