No affiliation - thought there'd be some interest in these.
Someone here recently bought one of the thinlines and now the regular teles are back in stock. Seems to only be the sunburst, no bsb, but for just over £100 delivered they seem like a great deal.

Item # 180485023181 if the link doesn't work.

There's something wrong with the way this forum handles ebay links - it shows as removed. Use the item # in the search bar.

musicasa in Spain sells them.

I tried an SX tele from a friend some weeks ago and it felt quite nice!

If it helps you .......

I got two SX guitars from Ebay Belgium d-n stores and one Richwood twin p90 .I was pleased with them .The vintage white strat was very nice and and I found no problems at all other than the usual sticky nut slots .The routing is a bit iffy when the guard is taken off but who cares it doesnt show , though the neck pocket is good .I just took it out of the box and started playing .Stock pickups are rather good ,nail an early 60's strat tone well .Great buy for 79 quid .most tuning problems are just a sticky nut on all these guitars .The tuners all work well and stay in tune
The SX Thinline is good but every screw is put in on the wonk .It doesnt matter if you are keeping all the same parts like bridge and neck etc .The body is well up to Fender standards , a proper alder thinline .it all works well .At present it is being stripped down as project guitar .I have got all the poly off the neck and plan to tru-oil it .The body is going to be Dakota red Nitro over poly and Baja pickups .The necks are very good ,excellent .accurate and didnt need a fret job .:D
My Richwood thinline is great ,just love it ,no issues at all .I put in Tonerider P90's as I has some but the stock ones are pretty useful too .Superbly put together.They were a very limited run and have sold out .
They are well worth the money but I guess they are cheap ,they are not Fenders but get near WHEN you get a good one .The Richwood is certainly up to MIJ standards .I find I can get a very low action with no fret buzz on all three.
I would certainly buy more but my wife keeps noticing the guitar stock going up so I better stick at what I've got .I would certainly grab that sunburst and put some Keystone or Toneriders in it , and the CAR Strat .
I have swapped Fender necks and SX necks .The Fender neck needs a full shim to raise it a bit in an SX body .:D
