Hey all,

 

I'm getting a new guitar in the next coupla months, but I'm choosing between the two:

 

Fender Tele Thinline '69

Fender Tele Deluxe '72

 

Both I believe will be Mexican (as you can't get American without going Custom Shop..which I really can't get at this stage lol).

 

My guitar that I have at the moment is a American Telecaster..I spose it's a Nashville. I'm loving the idea of the humbucker pick-ups, but can people just give me their opinions on the pros and cons on both these guitars (and then their final answer/choice)? I'd love some imput before I confirm which one I'm going to get!

 

Thanks a lot!

Go to the shop and play all guitars you can effort, then you make the choice what you liked!

Ahh yes, I should probably mention. The thinline I played and it sounded awesome, felt awesome, was awesome. However, it is similar to the guitar I already have in the way of pick-ups etc.

 

The Deluxe wasn't in the store, so I'd have to ask them to order it in before I get to play it and make a decision on it. I'm leaning towards the deluxe cos it would mean having a different guitar to the Tele I already have. But leaning towards the thinline cos it sounded so awesome. Both guitars I've always been interested in, but now I can't decide...

Telecasters(Thinline is also Telecast) don't have much interresting options.

So if you wan't different things from you'r instrument, go for the Stratocaster or Jaguar.

I'd take the Thinline!

I know thinlines are also telecasters. And I'd prefer a tele sound over strat. I'd much prefer a Jaguar or Jazzmaster over any of these..but my budget isn't enough cos these guitars just went up in price...
