Reviews

Surprising!
I've had several thinlines in the past, they come and go, but with the ridiculous price of thinlines today I thought I'd give this one a try. It's like a breath of fresh air to have something this inexpensive be this good. Very lightweight, acoustically lively, and the neck feels just right between thick and thin. Glassy frets without sharp edges. I replaced the saddles with Graphtechs, now it's even more responsive, and of course as with other Affinity models, no fret buzz anywhere. Used it at a gig last night, what a joy to play!

great tele for the $

great vibe and tone from this thinline - sounds fantastic even unplugged. classic Tele chime plugged in - not quite as good as the best tele pickups, but for a $ guitar they're fantastic - well done. However, the frets could have used more attention at the ends - and for a $300 guitar they are well below expectations - not so well done.

Overall, tho, a great tele with fantastic tone and vibe...

Semi Hollow Tele
Right out of the box, this guitar was intonated perfectly and the neck action was set up the way I would normally set them. The pickups have great tone and are noiseless even when using high gain pedals. It has the warm sound for Jazz that I was looking for but is also good for Rock or Country. This is a good addition to my studio and good value for the price
