MIM '69 Thinline RI, modified with blackguard, new pups, and LP switch. Sorry the photo's so big.

Billy Hell · August 17th, 2007, 05:03 PM

69 Reissue, MIM, mahogany.
LOVE IT. I didn't switch the pick-ups. The stock units work for me. Did I mention I LOVE IT?

Vintage-ish '68 Thinline partsocaster with Bardens and Bigsby

Fender HMT steel string - thinline with 1 lace sensor and 1 piezo bridge

Fender Thinline classical tele - thinline (yes, semi-hollow with real Tele neck)with piezo bridge

Fender A/E bass - thinline with 1 lace sensor P bass pup, 1 piezo pup and the wierdest Fender headstock I've ever seen. It's authentic - I remember seeing these in the Fender catalogue around the early 90's. There was a fretless model, too that I'm actively searching for

MIM '72 Thinline RI. Replaced pickguard and fitted with Vintage Vibe HB sized Vibetrons (similar specs to TV Jones Powertrons)

teleclem · September 11th, 2007, 05:40 AM

i almost bought an original '69..

BobbyB · September 11th, 2007, 05:59 AM

Here is my Squire Pro-tone modded w/p-90.

sevenfour · September 11th, 2007, 07:00 AM

I have a '96 MIM 69 RI Thinline with a mahogany body. Previous owner added a Seymore Duncan humbucker for the neck, I added a DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Hot for the bridge.

singular · September 27th, 2007, 04:58 AM

havent posted here much but was just looking for threads on the thinlines...
i own a 72 ri 3ts
and just yesterday i got a 69 ri natural.

planning on changing the pots to 250k on the 69 and possibly changing the pups,if anyone has any suggestions on the latter feel free to pm me or anything :) im looking to keep that gorgeous clean tone but would like a small bit more bite for slightly more aggressive playing,with od etc.

some lovely thinlines around here, glad i did the search :)

My advice: Change the pots first, then play it. You may decide not to change the pups.

cheers Tom, sound advice.

dablues · September 29th, 2007, 12:53 PM

I just got my '72 MIM Reissue Thinline, and it's the best 325 bucks I've ever spent. It had a few dings, but it's in WONDERFUL shape otherwise, and plays like a Tele should: difficult, cranky, and beautiful when you ask it nice.

Hideaway · September 29th, 2007, 01:26 PM

Tele 72 Thinline RI MIM sunburst -- raised pots to 500k, wanted to open up the stock WR humbuckers for more bite, but it still mellows nicely with tone knob turned down.

Tele 69 Thinline RI MIJ mahogany -- lowered pots to 250k and replaced pups with Seymour Duncan Alnico II PRO in neck and bridge, wanted a warmer, bluesier tone, less ice pick.

Plug 'em into my Princeton Reverb, or Blues Jr. Nicccccce!

They're keepers. Love 'em both !

mdkrek · September 29th, 2007, 01:41 PM

heres my new partscaster

boris bubbanov · October 23rd, 2007, 01:34 AM

1999 MIM '69 Thinline Reissue, 3 tone sunburst over ash, three piece matched body behind pretty 2 piece cap, allparts 2 ply pearloid pickguard with black pickguard screws, electrosocket, Stew Mac # 5167 three barrel brass saddles over stock bridgeplate, Seymour Duncan Jerry Donahue bridge sc pickup mated ( not for long ) out of phase to stock neck pickup, slightly raised center pole pieces on that JD, neck dimensions wonderful but all but indistinguishable from MIM 50's Classic Esquire despite "U" description, D'Addario 11-49 EXLs.
Body and neck have no wear of any note; came with the pickguard and Jerry Donahue for $ 320, e-socket, knobs, pickguard screws, strings and saddles added. Same price as a Vintage Modified Thinline Squier, much lighter in weight, and absolutely no contest in playability or tone, 'specially with the Jerry Donahue. Pix soon as there's daylight.

Bubbanov

BTW this Allparts pickguard is a total bust in terms of matching of screw holes, and remember a thinline body's screw holes are really difficult to fill. Send in a tracing if you are retrofitting.

I know Fender can do as they please, they own the names. But a CS 50's THINLINE is an abomination from the period correct point of view. Don't get me wrong. If you like that sort of thing, smoke 'em if ya' got 'em. Leo would probably even like the idea......if he'd have thought of it. I guess he kinda did, what with the lightening holes DRILLED out underneath the pickguard that are on some unknown(to Me) number of early teles. I wonder.. was it a customer request?/ Before or aftermarket?... Factory option?

Nice looking guitar, though.
