Nice twist on a strat. I'm just not that fond on the bindings on the fretboard.

I love Thinlines, but I'm not sure it lends itself quite as well to the Strat shape as it does to the Tele.

That would be a nice compliment to my Tele Thinline. Looks fab. Not sure if the mid scoop I experience with my Tele would be a good thing w a Start, tho...

Agreed. That being said, I do quite like it, but I'd like it more with more strat-like cosmetics on the neck.

gotta love the japanese, fender japan does stuff the fender US would never dream of.. Their whole catalogue is full of awesome little experiments. and i like most of em. they really go to town on teles too.

http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/tl62b-bigs.html

just a case in point, tons more on there.

All my fenders are MIJ, excepting the custom shop, at any given price point, I'll take an MIJ over a MIA any day of the week.

Gotta discount the Andy-factor in his demos. He makes EVERYTHING sound awesome. He even managed to make a Geiger Counter sound good...

Which I suppose is kinda the point.

The only problem (apart from the difficulty of obtaining them!) is they tend to have the old 7.25" vintage radius and skinny frets.

But I'm loving this thing:

They're around if you know were to find them, there's a lot of music shops who do grey imports of them. Also the 7.25" radius thing really only applies to the vintage models (62, 57 etc). granted, variations thereof make up a decent portion of the catelogue.. must say though, i keep my action reasonably low ( i like a bit of grip and fight) and never had any issues with buzz. Maybe not as low as the full on metal crowd, but then you're not going to be playing metal on a 62 style fender

saying that, they had a cool FR HSS strat, haven't seen those kicking about in a while.

That floral (burst?) telly is the nuts though...

The humble Tele... it wins everyone over eventually.
