I'm looking for my old Telecaster. I owned it from 1975 until 1986. It was a thinline, with a humbucker in the neck position and a single coil in the bridge, natural finish body with maple neck. I've never seen another one like this, although I don't know much about teles. Anyone seen one like this, or know what year it may have been manufactured?

I'm pretty sure this is the guitar you're talking about.

As best I can recall, the originals were made from 1972 to 1979.

The re-issues are really great guitars with the exception of the humbucker in the neck position. It doesn't sound at all like the original and is in fact pretty dull sounding.

There are a number of alternatives for that pickup though.

The pickup configuration is the same, but mine had the f-hole, which to me is what has made it hard to find in any fender literature. thanks for the reply.

What your talking about was based on the 69 thinline I've seen them I think it was a deluxe or custom thinline version in the early 70's Iv'e seen one or two on ebay. To bad you don't still have it. I think it's worth a small fortune. So was the 72 I don't have anymore.
