Title: Fender just released the Thinline Cabronita Tele

Maaaaan, I thought the GAS should have been calmed down for a while with the Mira  :(

That Shoreline Gold is just stunning!

For some reason I can never see images on the Fender website on this computer, but I Googled it.

Looks very cool, although I do think the f-hole looks a little odd next to the small scratchplate - I'd prefer a big scratchplate like a '72 Thinline.

Bigger scratch plate and smaller neck radius and I would be very desirous of it!

They look georgeous. Sunburst is my fav.

Looks nice but I coudn't get on with one volume control and no tone controls.

I think the Cabronita has some sort of treble bleed installed on the volume pot, so I think it would be pretty ok.

Sorry to resurrect aqn old thread but I played one of these today at Andertons. It was a Shoreline gold one too. I played it unplugged.  It played beautifully. The next felt very nice indeed- I was sorely tempted. If Mrs 38th hadn't been with me I might have found myself trying to sneak one into the house on returning home.

Cool! I'm still gassing for one. I might pick one up at a later date, trying to learn some discipline right now ;)
