1978 Fender Tele Thinline [7.6 lbs] :: neck realignment

1978 Fender Tele Thinline [7.6 lbs] :: neck realignment.

This Tele has the classic 70's 3-bolt neck joint and the neck was slightly biased to the treble side (the high e string was too close to the edge of the fingerboard).  The bolts were loosened and the neck shifted towards the bass side to correct this.  Tele Thinlines originally come with the wide range humbuckers but this one was modded years ago with Seymour Duncan SH-3 Stag Mag's with push-pull coil taps.

2012 Fender Tele Thinline [6.8 lbs] :: setup

2012 Fender Tele Thinline [6.8 lbs] :: setup

This was a straight forward setup for a killer player currently going though the UMass Lowell music program.  The bridge saddle radius was a little flat compared to the fingerboard's tight 7.25" radius.  The saddles were adjusted to correct this along with the nut slots and intonation.

This was a "while you wait" setup so I wish I could have spent a little more time enjoying this one through my '68 Vibrolux Reverb ...
