Members 1DZReverendDavidLee Posted March 10, 2007 Members Share Posted March 10, 2007 Here's the details on MF with all the info about the specs and what not. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-TC90-Thinline-Guitar?sku=511338 Found this today here in Des Moines for $375. The color (according to Musicians Friend) is Antique White - but to me it looks more like a cream color. Beautiful! And the intonation and setup on this thing is incredible. Yes it's Korean made but it didn't matter - this thing sounds great and plays like a dream. Wasn't looking for one -just stumbled across it. I've got 4 photos to post -when I get to the one that shows the smooth neck joint - take a look at that one closely - no heel at all - perfect accesibility to the higher frets. These are easily worth the $629 MF is charging - but oh so much sweeter at used prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members booher Posted March 10, 2007 Members Share Posted March 10, 2007 I forgot about those things. They look really, really cool. I'd probably want to swap out the pickups though, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jay3265E Posted March 11, 2007 Members Share Posted March 11, 2007 Rev. I've been eyeing those since they came out. I've been seconds away from buying about 10 of them. I want the Cherry Burst over Antique which apparently most people want too making it more difficult to track down. I found one in NYC for $310 but in white. That was hard to pass up. Plus I got my Octron 2 4 U email that afternoon so it made it almost impossible to make it happen. Let us know what you think. I've haven't found a place that has any in stock to try out so I would basically be on a blind buy (as I think you are too). Good luck with her. Can't wait to hear your review.

Members jay3265E Posted March 11, 2007 Members Share Posted March 11, 2007 I really wish they would make that exact guitar, only a traditional tele body I've thought a lot about that too. I do dig the twin horns but a thinline would be pretty damn sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1DZReverendDavidLee Posted March 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2007 Why? Those SD P90s are great pickups.Yes they are. I wouldn't change them whatsoever. I've spent the past couple hours with this thing and a Reverend Hellhound 40/60 with the gain at about half and the volume on about the same - ran it clean for the largest part of the time - and this bitch just screams. No I would definitely NOT change those pups at all. I don't know if it's the difference in the body (partly chambered for the f hole but the weight and feel of it seems to indicate the rest of the body is solid) or the SD pups - but this is beautifully articulate and fat and pronounced and easily on par with the P-90's in my Gibson SG Classic - but with a bit more full bodied sparkle on the high end - the bottom strings were deliciously PHAT and punched unbelieveably articulate - no distortion whatsoever on clean without a pedal - and this with the gain on the Hellhound turned halfway up. It may be Korean made - but those pickups are the key to the sound of this great combination of wood and steel and electronics. For the past half hour I did hook up an Emma Reetzitzfrats (sp?) overdrive and the TC just {censored}ing screamed - great classic rock guitar tone to die for. The sustain was really wonderful - DO NOT CHANGE PICKUPS - there's simply no need for that here. It's uniquely voiced which is hard to do given my collection and I concluded early on tonight that this one's a keeper Thanks for the kind words to all - didn't know there was such a group of you all lusting for this one. I remember when they came out somebody on here ran a thread on them...and I guess no one got one, or they didn't review it here - or I just missed it.. but over time it just fell off the radar and I quite frankly forgot all about it until I seen this one today. Incredible piece really. And getting to the top of the neck was just absolutely effortless.And if you can get one at about half priced used - I'm sure they'll pop up as a couple guys already indicated they weren't that impressed - GRAB ONE! You can thank me later for talking this one up. And thanks to whoever mentioned it first here because when I saw it - a light went off - and now I own one. Thank you brother - whoever you were.
