All,

I'm looking for some information on the 72 Thinlines that were made in the early 2000's.

I know for a fact the '69 from that era were made in a bunch of colors, but I can't find anything that says the '72 was as well...

Anyone remember what the offerings were back then? I want to repurchase or build a "HH" thinline but I would love to be able to find an authentic Fender one with a little more color than the natural/pearl/maple one from today.

Thanks in advance....

I found one quick link to a 72 RI in Daphne blue from 2002 that suggests that they did offer at least one color other than natural:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2002-FENDER-72- ... 0742090338

This is the only link I could find without exhaustive searching. I know about the 69 RI limited edition colors because I have a Lake Placid blue from that series and was bidding on the pink one being sold by the same person. Still, I found no links for these either, so given the limited number, I'm guessing that people rarely sell them. But it appears that they did make 72 in at least blue unless the person selling in the above link mis-dated his Tele.

I also found a link from 2001 for a sunburst (not exactly what you were asking, but it is "a" color other than clear):

I have the 2001 Fender Frontline catalog and on page 40 there a picture and description of the 72 thinline on the classic series. The only color is natural 21 and sunburst 00

Body is ash with two humbucker pickups.

Is this help you ?
