The Thin Line In The Sand

Post by Terexgeek »

https://www.guitarplayer.com/gear/fende ... per-deluxe

So this has arrived and I am a fan of Thinlines, one day a '72 reissue will be mine, oh yes. But this looks cool, although it needs a maple board in my opinion, and a Lake Placid Blue colour scheme.

The big question, hot or not?

Should Fender leave Gretsch to Gretsch, cue outraged posting ala PRS Silver Sky...or it is a welcome addition to the Cabronita line, ready for a chunky caliper?

That, of course, significantly improves anything.

But I fear Fender are doing a Gibson trick here, with all these odd, thrown-together models.

I was going to say I really like it apart from... but that list grew a bit too long.

Love the colour and the pickguard.

Hot. YMMV
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Nope
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
