Members Vinhoff Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 I've always found them to be nice though a tad heavy on the laquer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dann-O Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 I really like mine it sounds and plays great. i agree it is a bit heavy on the lacquer. I like the U neck but that is a matter of taste the neck is nice and chunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members songsforbears Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 I've always found them to be nice though a tad heavy on the polyester Corrected. If those were finished with lacquer, I would already own one. As for the quality, they're excellent, but made sure you look at a bunch of them. Some of them get incredibly beautiful tops, some of them get normal-looking tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members songsforbears Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 I really like mine it sounds and plays great. i agree it is a bit heavy on the polyester. I like the C-shaped neck but that is a matter of taste the neck is nice and chunky. Corrected again. If it had a U-shaped neck and lacquer, I would already own it.

Members iansmitchell Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 Build quality? MIM? haahahahahahahahahahaha In all seriousness- They're good. It's hard to mess up a fender, seeing as they're assembly line guitars. But they certainly don't {censored} it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dann-O Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 Corrected again. If it had a U-shaped neck and lacquer, I would already own it. Mine has a U neck I guess they just changed them. Which is considerably chunkier than my V neck. Specs change all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 simple question - what's the quality of the 72 thinline tele? Decent overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faber Posted October 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2008 so the consensus seems to be - decent without blowing anybody away. Makes sense. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted October 12, 2008 Members Share Posted October 12, 2008 like them. I never cared for the Poly on the necks though. Take a good look at the frets. Damn if Fender doesn't load up the poly on those fretboards. Thats the only thing I don't like about them. BTW I haven't played one in a couple years, so Fender might have corrected that. Though its pretty much a Time Correct thing so I believe Fender does it on purpose. You know Fender built a Standard production line Thinline in the USA in the 90's right?

Ain't that the truth - My 03 US standard tha I bought used but pretty much unused had it from the 13 fret up - totally covered in it. Nothing I couldn't remove scaping with a thick pick, but still. didn't know bout the US ones - have to watch the classifieds. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
