I like the Thinline and the 1977 "Teleaster" the best. The Thinline is the original model of the one Gab's girlfriend bought him last year

I would love a fender or gibson from the 70's. it was the most awesome of decades but that '66 white tele is just a thing of beauty. I would have stood outside that window and wept like a little girl The decade was indeed awesome but sadly Gibson and Fender's quality went WAY down. They were both bought by conglomerates (Norlin and CBS respectively) and they made a lot of horrible instruments. Some of he early 70s stuff is OK because they used materials and workers that were from the previous era but after 73/74 it's mostly shite - until about 1983 (when they got their companies back). There are of course exceptions but that '77 Tele is more than likely an awful instrument. I have a 1974 LP special that's pretty great but ALL the 70s Fenders I've played were bad to mediocre. *One of the greatest things about the 70s (and early 80s) is that you could get 50s and 60s Gibsons and Fenders for super cheap.

That's a bit of a shame, although Im not too upset because I also really want a 1960's era strat what types of things are typically wrong with these 70's era models? Wrong wood - too heavy (especially Gibson). Thick finishes (a lot of poly instead of nitro). Cheaper hardware as well as hardware not specifically designed for a specific guitar. Used just because it 'fit'. 3 bolt necks with micro-tilt adjust (Fender. Leo eventually perfected it when he was at G&L years later). Cheaper labor - unskilled at specifically guitar building/pkup making. Gibson didn't calibrate or service their pkup winding machines for years and a lot of 70s pkups are real crap. Many of the great and innovative crafts people and master builders left at this time. Some left to form their own companies and/or work for others. There are of course exceptions. You have to play them. Fender Starcasters and Coronados are desirable axes but they are also pretty funky and not for everybody. A 1970 LP gold top is usually a good guitar. They weren't as popular then so production was low on those. Consequently they used old stock and put them together more slowly. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I have a 72 and a 1990 MIJ '72 Reissue' Thinline. Great sounding guitars, the pair of them. I can't wait until the MIJ is 30+ years old too!! A 'real' 1972 Fender Thinline Telecaster is usually a great guitar. The builders spent more time on them due to the upper hollow chamber and f hole. The MIJ and CIJ (crafted in Japan) Fenders are as good and sometimes better than the USA Fenders. MIM vintage style Teles are more often than not better than their American counterparts ... and I have no idea why. *The current 'American Professional' series (which replaced the American Standard) seem to be of very high and consistent quality. At least the one's I've tried so far. Gibson quality is back to shit again, except on the $2500 and up models.
