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.

Congrats, Brian, that's swee-eeet! :D 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.)

Thanks Gary,

I love its versatility. It's a very useful addition to my Fender 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.

Thanks Paul. I suspect that you would love this guitar...............it would be even better if it was double bound of course. :wink:

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.
