My first guitar was a Tele thinline, black, with the standard single-coil pickups, it was bought used as my high school graduation present. The store had 2, one with the wide-rage humbuckers and the one with the standard pickups, and I decided that one sounded better. That was 1973 and I still have it. And if I could only have 1 guitar - that would be it.
I absolutely love my Road Worn 50's Tele, and I love Gretsch Hollowbodies. I always said, If I could only have one guitar forever. It'd be a Tele Thinline with a 50's Spec neck, Broadcaster in the bridge, TV Jones Classic in the neck, and a B5 Bigsby. All the electric guitar things I love in one guitar. Tele bridge tones, Gretsch Neck tones, Bigsby with classic Fender playability.
@@solan417 nice, I originally planned to swap mine out for a set of Pure Vintage 52s, but I kinda ended up falling in love with the TexMex pickups, believe it or not. Crazy good guitars for what they used to go for. Picked mine up on a demo discount with a coupon during a Memorial Day sale. Ended up costing less than a in box Poly Classic model. I couldn’t say no and I’ve never regretted it. Shame they discontinued the Road Worn series. Luckily I ended up scooping up a couple of the RW 50s P bass Replacement necks once Fender discontinued the American Vintage Reissues. Just finished my first build with the neck, and a Warmoth 51 P body finished in Transparent Black Nitro by MJT. It’s incredible. Fender made a mistake discontinuing the AVRI and RW instruments, imo.
I like the Thinline Tele guitar style because they are small, compact, not too heavy and are loud enough to sound pleasing when played without an amp while in bed at night. The size is perfect in every way and yes acoustically the sound is loud enough and has enough tone to please me as I play in bed every night. It's not loud enough to wake up my wife either so that's another good thing. I have two of them! I like their acoustic sound so much and I'm so used to that tone that now when I do play them through an amplifier I prefer to use an acoustic amp, and still, having said that, I still prefer the unamplified natural tone the best of all. I'm They have their own unique sound and I am glad that they do not sound like the regular acoustic guitar as I like the Thinline tone even better even if it's not as loud. I am using light gage strings which are so comfortable to play for hours as a time, every night and they bend so nicely that I'm always playing between notes to add a special feeling to what I'm playing. I am actually a happy man after having discovered all these qualities of the Thinline style guitar. I highly recommend them to everyone! - Peter age 72
I am madly in love with my 70's Squier Thinline...I have owned 30+ guitars, ranging from weird 60s Japanese junksters to high end Fenders...this girl, is, I think, my favorite of all of them! Beautiful, singing clean tones....load up those humbuckers, and they roar...she can do anything...ps: made in Indonesia, purchased from Sweetwater (yay!), fit and finish ridiculously good! Came out of the box ready to go! Hooray for Thinnies!!!
I have that same exact model Blonde 72 Thinline w/ Humbuckers that was being played in the beginning of this Vid! It's been my all time favorite Electric Guitar and will always be! About 3 years ago, I had a Master Luthier go over it and replace several Frets and do a general setup, making sure it was good to go! Money very well spent!
Great video, I’ve currently got 4 Thinlines, all with different pickups. The Thinline is by far and away my very favorite guitar. Much to my wife’s dismay, I’ll probably get more of them someday.
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen you do. The way you spoke about it and held it, then the way you played it was genuine. For anyone interested in hooking up with one of these Thinline Telecaster guitars, you just convinced them.
It took me 45 years to buy a tele, a 66. Took another 15 to buy my MASTER BUILD. I draw the line on the thinline. Definitely a cool guitar, Fenders have become my choice lately.
Excellent episode! Thinlines are my #1 go-to; I currently have a couple that have been heavily modded. I'm so glad you gave props to old Roger Rossmeissl. What a genius of a luthier he was. Don't take my word for it, go look him up. He designed the Capri model hollow body Rics. He taught Semie Moseley the iconic German carve that graces all those fabulous 60s Mosrites. He used a very similar approach to the Thinline that he so successfully used on the Ric Capris in the 50s. (I think John Lennon's little bitty 21 inch scale 325 was basically a Capri type instrument.) My main Thinline Tele is a tribute to both Rossmeissl and also to Ry Cooder (Coodercaster). It has a 1950s "Rickenbacker lapsteel horseshoe-magnet string-thru pickup" at the bridge, and a 1960s Teisco goldfoil at the neck. It also has a Bigsby, and a 27" baritone Tele Cabronita neck. What a monster that thing is; I wish I could post pics for you all... It looks a bit like a Formula One racer with the metal logos from all the different instruments whose parts were used in its construction. I've seen pics online of Ric Capris with a Horseshoe at the bridge and a toaster at the neck, so you can see where I was aiming with my mods... Maybe some day I'll do a short RUclips vid so y'all can see/hear it.
I go way back with this one - to an original blonde 69 (long story). I’ve since purchased a new one loaded. I absolutely love that Guitar. They do have neck dive though. For me it’s best suited as a sit down session. That aside, I couldn’t live without it. Besides sounding and feeling so good, it’s a very nostalgic experience for me every time I play it. Great history lesson and video on this one - Cheers
I do have a Thinline, my only guitar. I had an original from '72 but sold it. So about 10 years ago I bought the reissue. Mine looks exactly the same as the all blond with the maple neck and the white pickguard. I love the way it plays and my son likes it too. He will inherit it when I pass
I picked up a MIM Fender Deluxe Telecaster Thinline with single coils a few years back for giggles and for while it consumed my life. Surprisingly it covered just about any style of music I played well. Even harder rock / skate punk. Just has a vibe that’s hard to explain. Recently I just swapped out the bridge pickup for Duncan quarter pound and it’s a Jack of all trades. Still retains that single coil tele tone that crosses into P90 territory while having the output to keep up with a humbucker.
Are you kidding me?! That was f****** gorgeous! There were a couple of phrases in your playing that were so subtle and elegant that it pisses me off... But, you know, in the good way, that makes you want to go practice with a lot more focus and purpose. Seriously, another fantastic video. I'm genuinely grateful that I found your channel 🤙🍀
My absolute favorite guitar! In my opinion the p̶e̶n̶u̶l̶t̶i̶m̶a̶t̶e̶ ultimate incarnation of the tele. The hallow design, light weight, and those amazing wide range pickups all do something really special.
I’ve been a strummer all my life. Now, I’m my 50s, I’ve decided I want to learn to play electric/lead. My dear friend who is a genius and a guitar aficionado said I need a Tele thinline.
Thinline Tells are just freekin' cool....No matter which pickup configuration you have, it is a great ride! Light, easy to pickup and play and it seems I am always surprised by the sounds it makes when I start trying weird stuff... get one....
My '74 has been my #1 for many years. I've made a living with it. It's so versatile. If it hadn't been invented I'd probably play a 335, not a Fender at all.
I like the Gibson Deluxe on the wall behind you.I have a black one made in 1999.I got it in a trade with a Gretsch Billy Bo guitar.I put a Graph Tech nut & saddles.Curious about what your burst is going for?I’m in SW Ontario so will have to do the math.Mine is heavy. I’m 72 & still playing.Like Willie Nelson says keep going.Don’t stop.Tom Kirkby
“Thrilling experience you weren’t expecting to have” my bug guy who treats my house is also my guitar buddy. He brought a Nash t72TL with lollar regals (fender WR style). And it is exactly what you said ^.
I bought a new Fender Am Pro 2 roasted pine and pulled out the V mod single coils that it came with, (those are great pick ups) and put in 2 cunife wide range p/u’s. I love these pick ups they are truly their own thing.
I have no idea why I used to dislike these. I got converted a few years back when my local guitar shop persuaded me to sit down with one and I just got hooked. Sometimes it just takes the right moment. Lovely guitars.
Thinlines are great. The new Fender Wide Range Cunife reissue pickups are really something specific. I have one in the neck of my American Original 70s Telecaster custom. It's a unique, airy sound that comes alive with overdrive. Dirty plus clarity you expect from a Fender.
All these yt vids are telling me i need this or that guitarrelated thingy and i need to learn this or that lick/ mode or whatever on the guitar , so i told my boss i wanted more money for less hours work because i need more time to learn everything and be able to pay for my ever expanding guitargearcollection . You know what the he said ? . You're fired ! ; )
@@CasinoGuitars Thanks , ever thought about going international and open an franchise in the EU ? I live in Holland ( the gateway to the EU ) and i am looking for an interesting job with an good pay 🙂
The first Tele I ever played was a dual WRHB Thinline in a natural finish. I've wanted a TL ever since, but 40+ years later I haven't pulled the trigger. I've tried to buy that guitar several times, but no luck. Maybe one day.
What amp / dirt source are you using for the out solo? I like the tone you're getting, especially on the chordal phrases. It's chunky but still subtle.
Like you, a Strat is my main guitar but I love my Thinline Tele with the wide range pickups. I wonder if you can get a Thinline with 22 frets, 3 pickups (HSH + coil tapping) and a tremelo arm?
You think the Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster® Thinline would make a good jazz guitar? Is the CuNiFe pickups too bright or would they work for playing chord melody style jazz standards?
Nice Video , I have a 2015 American Standard Tele, and a 60's Classic Vibe Squire thin line. I personally like the feel of the CV better. Small hands. And I love the sound of the CV. I think it is a great guitar for the money. Jeff
Have a mid 90s MIJ 69 Thinline. I love it... so versatile. I just wish the neck weren't so skinny and the poly so plasticy. Hard to believe I've been playing it for twenty five years.
Your red custom shop one is super cool.. Do you know if Fender ever offered that look and configuaration (2xP90 w/that '69 style pickguard and hardtail bridge on any other US or Mex models?
Love the new dew! What are you playing through? I have mij 1999 69 reissue that is my main guitar and I play through a Vox ac10 almost exclusively on the single coil.
To the horror of some, while I love a lot of music played on Teles, I never got into playing them, but I always had a soft spot for the Thinlines. They sometimes tempt me One with P90s would be cool.
Hi Baxter, I very much enjoy the videos from Casino! I have a question. My ideal Cusomt build wouldn't be based on the old Fender guitars. More like a current Ultra, but a Thinline variant, flame top and birdseye neck, Lindy Fralin P90s. The Customshop catalogue suggests you need to start with one of their templates. Can a non-master built guitar be ordered? Or do I need to keep saving to get a master built?
I'm trying to decide between the 60s series with the single coils and the 70s series with the humbuckers. What are the primary differences, sound-wise, between the two?
My first guitar was a Tele thinline, black, with the standard single-coil pickups, it was bought used as my high school graduation present. The store had 2, one with the wide-rage humbuckers and the one with the standard pickups, and I decided that one sounded better. That was 1973 and I still have it.

Baxter, I love hearing you play on your videos. Amazing talent.
Man Baxter, that Custom Shop with the P-90's is so fire!
Indeed she is!
Fender absolutely needs to standardize a model of Telecaster with two P90s -- it's sorely missing in their ouevre
There's been one for years, the Jim Adkins JA-90
Some of the offset teles do single in the bridge, p90 in the neck. Truly amazing guitars.
@@petevadelnieks too many knobs for me.
P90s are the king of pickups in my opinion they should be available on more instruments
Just get the noventa strat.
I own two. Love em.

Thanks for the great info. Really digging the channel. God bless.
more of this please

I had a thinline once & I will say it was much lighter than a regular Telecaster.

Keep going for it!
I built one or these for my dad last year and might have to build one for myself soon
That Guitar is so epically awesome. P90s in a thinline should be a standard offering. That made you play differently Baxter 👍
Great song.
Putting together a thinline build from mjt right now... can't get it rocking soon enough.
I agree I for sure need one. now make a video of Why I Can't Afford a Thinline Telecaster
I hear you and more importantly...Love your last name:)!
@@CasinoGuitars yeah I'm kind of fond of your last name too lol
Because you need the hard corners to dig in your arm, you need that neck dive, that short note decay. But it’s pretty, and light so just maybe

You missed the main point, thinline Tellys cranked give out a beautiful singing distortion that is one of the sexiest sounds ever, OK?
OK!!!
Sounds dope I'm gonna order one of those sweet Harley Benton thinlines.
Amazing playing and tone! What pedal and amp was it on the drive tone?!?
Damn, thats one beautiful guitar man.
We agree! And thanks for watching!
I just can’t get over Baxter’s hair cut…. And yes, thin lines are awesome.
Don't worry...it's already growing like horrible weeds:)
I needed one. So I built one. I like it so much that I built my three grand daughters one also.
That is awesome!
Good musings and great playing Baxter! Already knew I wanted-needed a P90 Thinline so I am, in essence, vindicated!😝
Thank you and thrilled to be a part of your vindication as well!
What amp / dirt source are you using for the out solo? I like the tone you're getting, especially on the chordal phrases. It's chunky but still subtle.
Love my T-Line, w/2 gold foil humbuckers. Beautiful sound, surf green, with a palm tree...
That sounds perfect to me!
tx for including some tones ffs what a miracle for a git channell

Cause of course I do
To the horror of some, while I love a lot of music played on Teles, I never got into playing them, but I always had a soft spot for the Thinlines.

Hi Baxter, I very much enjoy the videos from Casino! I have a question. My ideal Cusomt build wouldn't be based on the old Fender guitars. More like a current Ultra, but a Thinline variant, flame top and birdseye neck, Lindy Fralin P90s. The Customshop catalogue suggests you need to start with one of their templates. Can a non-master built guitar be ordered? Or do I need to keep saving to get a master built?
Teles are in vogue right now and I'm all for it. Now we just need someone to tell Fender.
Rgr that!
Nice playing!
Thank you!
I'm trying to decide between the 60s series with the single coils and the 70s series with the humbuckers. What are the primary differences, sound-wise, between the two?
good playin'!!
Thank you Paul:)
Could you use a thinline in a Jazz scenario?
Dang it,Baxter! Remember what happened last time when you told me I needed a Jazzmaster?
oh ye...whoops...
