Members TheLunatic_MH Posted December 30, 2006 Members Share Posted December 30, 2006 So a couple of weeks back I had it in my head that I needed a semi-hollow bodied guitar, whent to the local GC and tryed out the DOT and Artcore othig doing. The sales fella suggests some full hollow body witch sounded great but not a sound i would use. Next up to bat is a Fender Thinline. Almost bought a regular tele awhile back so why not semi-hollow and a tele best of both worlds. Sounded great to bad i was just window shopping. Fast foward to today and i ow have a new to me thinlie that i assembled myself. So here it is the quick photo history: Parts pics- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I ask too many questions? ~Blackbelt Ebay and magority of hardware from GFS, too much, a thought it to be a little heavy for a semi-holow body, i answered too many questions.

Members RaVenCAD Posted December 30, 2006 Members Share Posted December 30, 2006 Love the body, not a fan of the pg, but the dual bucker look in a tele makes up for it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheLunatic_MH Posted December 30, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 30, 2006 Originally posted by taylor210eman nice. how long did it take you? Took me close to a month waiting for parts. Actual time to build it was mabe 10hrs. a lot quicker than i thought, and would have been quicker if it were a traditional 4 bolt neck instead of the three bolt that it is. Putting the neck was the biggest pai i the kiester. Got it setup now and sounds like a champ. Action where i like it. and all is well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, cost about the same as a used 72 thinline RI used on the bay. But, i did get to build it and learn a few things along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
