Thanks, Frank! You are correct!
Unless I'm mistaken, the '72 Thinline was the first Tele to come with dual
humbuckers, and they were discontinued after about three years.
And, based on what I've heard in demo videos, it retains a surprising amount
of the Telecaster twang despite the humbuckers, but still has the warmer,
throatier sound than you'd get with the standard Tele setup.

Fender had a bit of a spate of humbuckers in the early 70s. The Deluxe
also had them from '72. Here's mine, an original '73 model with the
Marshall custom shop '67 Bluesbreaker amp that I won in the local
hospice raffle:

You're right, the humbuckers still produce the Tele twang in the
middle selector position and the thinline hollow body adds a bit of
acoustic resonance as well. I think you'll enjoy it!

Holy cow, Chris! That is one hell of a nice little setup you have there.
You must have been pretty happy when they drew your name for that amp.
