Here are my 2 brethren. Would love to own a '72 Thinline "to spice things up a bit", but I've ran out of rackspace to house one, and there are other humbucker guitars I covet as well (I'm not a humbucker-guy to begin with).

The sunburst one is strung with roundwounds, the white one with thick flatwounds. The sunburst sounds bright & twangy, the white one sounds like getting your face kicked in with a mallet.
killer. a white Tele with a mint guard and rosewood fretboard is my absolute favorite.

Tried one of these out in a guitar store yesterday and it was INCREDIBLE.
Nicest Telecaster I've played in a long time.

Is it a fender?
Yup. Fender Telecaster Thinline Elite. It's the nicest guitar in the Elite lineup by far.
I am curious why you thought the thinline elite was better than the plain tele elite. I know that some pieces can shine more than others, especially when you add an acoustic element, but I found the thinline's lacking in presence a little bit, but I think I only tried one or two.

I agree. They only made these for two years. The last of the Fullertons..

I love that bridge on the Tele thinline. It sits low in the end grain. Rings like a bell.

1983, Squier Japan SQ series.
There are many guitars in this world (and in my wardrobe) but this will always be my favourite.

Self-assembled 12-string job I did about 2 years ago. Heaps of fun to play.

Body by Warmoth, neck USACG. Finish (Taos Turquoise) by MJT. "Narrow Range" pickups by Curtis Novak.

This is my current tele and tele-ish situation: 2012 52 AVRI, Tripple Tele, and a Bastardcaster. The 52 AVRI just got a refret and it has turned my interests to teles again. Gasing really bad for a tele with a mini humbucker on the neck, like those 52 Hot Rods.

Love the blue headstock / white body! How much different do the JM pickups sound in the tele?

Thanks! It sound like a jazzmaster, perhaps a bit more bare bone tone (no jm trem, shorter string length), but jazzy tone there definitely. The blue headstock neck came from a blue tele I refinished years ago.
