I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Re: I Tried Reducing my Collection
Here are the specs on the guitar taken from an old Musicians Friend ad: http://backstage.musiciansfriend.com/pr ... tId=511338
"Loaded with vibe, tone, and feel.
With a set neck and easy high-fret access, plus American-made Seymour Duncan pickups, the Fender TC-90 Thinline makes a statement with its visuals and screamin' tone. The semi-hollow ash body is set into a maple neck with 22 medium-jumbo frets and abalone dots. Rock-solid tuning and intonation are supported by an Adjusto-Matic bridge with anchored tailpiece. The electric guitar's pickup complement consists of a Seymour Duncan SP90-1NRWRP vintage P90 (neck) and SP-90 3B Custom P90 (bridge). 3-way switching with master tone and volume controls keep you on top of your tone.
Features
Body: semi-hollow ash
Neck: set maple neck
Number of frets: 22 medium-jumbo frets
Scale length: 25-1/2"
Abalone dot position inlays
Hardware: smoked chrome
Bridge: Adjusto-Matic with anchored-tailpiece
Pickups: Seymour Duncan: SP90-1NRWRP vintage P90 (neck), SP-90 3B Custom
P90 (bridge)
Pickup switching: 3-Way
Controls: master volume, master tone"

Re: I Tried Reducing my Collection
Congrats, Brian, that's swee-eeet!
I love the color scheme, especially with the matching headstock. (I thought it was something like a Tele Thinline, but not being a Fender expert by any means, I didn't know what it actually was.)

Re: I Tried Reducing my Collection
Thanks Gary,
I love its versatility. It's a very useful addition to my Fender collection.

Brian, post a picture of what you find when you open her up!
'67 Fender Coronado II CAB * '17 1963 ES-335 PB * currently rickless
Re: I Tried Reducing my Collection
Will do Werner. I suspect from the description in the specs however that there wont be any surprises in that it is just a semi-hollow body.Wildberry wrote:

Thanks Mike. I think you would also get along with this guitar. IMO it would be a great fit with the style of music you play.whojamfan wrote:Congrats Brian, great looking guitar!
