Members Ivor The Engine Driver Posted June 13, 2005 Members Share Posted June 13, 2005 I think the other guitarist in my band is seriously considering a Thinline Tele. Locally, our options are somewhat limited... so... wondering what's the best bet for one of these? Ishibashi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hopeless Romantic Posted June 13, 2005 Members Share Posted June 13, 2005 I want a Thinline as well so bump. I like a Bigsby on a tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted June 13, 2005 Members Share Posted June 13, 2005 If he has some bucks, a G&L Bluesboy is probably the best of the thinline Teles. Not cheap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ivor The Engine Driver Posted June 13, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2005 thanks, not sure exactly what his range is.... i'm guessing not too high, that's why i'm leaning toward CIJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hookstrapped Posted June 13, 2005 Members Share Posted June 13, 2005 I have a MIJ 72 Thinline that I love. Seen MIJ mahogany 69 Thinlines on ebay for around $600 -- about the same price as a new one but those mid-80s have the (hype) mojo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my '86 CIJ 69 thinline RI for $500 + s/h about a year ago, and that was with duncan antiquities instead of the stock p'ups. I felt like I got a really good deal, but $600 is definitely a good price for the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
