| samrockstar80's Full Review: Fender 69 Telecaster Thinline Electric Guitar |
Well, what can you say about the body apart from how light it is due to the characteristic 'f' hole that effects that tone- not to say that is effected in a bad way! The extra resonance gained by having a semi hollow body blunts some of the sharpness in tone affiliated with the classic tele, thus making it just that little bit more versatile and mellow sounding but retains the quality of classic tele tone when using the bridge pickup. Unfortunately, this body is a very delicate one which is liable to chip if gigged with frequently. Screw holes do strip their thread very easily if you have to take the scratch plate off on a relatively frequent basis so you may find your self needing bigger and bigger screws!
