Thanks for the clarification, John.
From what I gather, the reissue humbuckers are just a tad warmer than
the original WRHB. Still, based on what I've heard in the demos, they
come pretty close.

The Telecaster Thinline was introduced in '69 with standard Telecaster

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.

Are those twin double humbuckers that I see?
Nice looking axe!

on just the guitar I've been lusting for:

It's a '72 Fender Telecaster Thinline Re-Issue. Ain't she purdy?
I figure she'll be arriving at my doorstep in about two weeks.
