Possibly the coolest Thinline Tele ever?

Reminds me of my Esquire -

It's not an antique - I built it for the 2021 annual BrotherHood Build that we've had for the last few years over in the DIY section of this forum

It's about as simple as it gets - just a volume and a no-load control pot

I like block inlays and I love thinlines, so it's halfway to home plate as far as I'm concerned. But one thing I noticed that I don't care for is the switch. A switchcraft right in line with the bridge strumming area isn't super great IMO, although I guess it wouldn't take long to get used to it.

I would like to think this is the pretties Thinline. I was just informed it was shipped today

My apologies, but this is the coolest thinline here, from Fender, the Parallel Universe II TELE® MÁGICO.

My nomination is an expertly crafted recreation of a '68.

Definitely unique. Looks like a mongrel assembled by an employee from various parts. Probably not an official 'prototype', because mongrels like this are a common thing at guitar factories.

This guitar here is the coolest thinline...in my guitar pile. It's a homebrew known as the Thinline III:

Is that a parchment pg?

Yes it is.

Although they seem to be popular with some players, I don't really care for Bigsby's at all on a Telecaster. I have a B5 on my SG and don't really care for it on that. I guess it's just not my thing.
