The upside is that this guitar is exactly what I wanted.
The downside is that this guitar is exactly what I wanted. It is highly unlikely that anyone else would want my specification.

I searched for a tele for years and strangely the tele tone I had in my head ended up being met by a thinline. It's maybe just me but I've noticed that big necks on teles make the best noise (technical term) and I've also found that teles, in my opinion, more than any guitar can be awesome on one amp and not so on another. I ended up buying the amp I had been playing the thinline through as I couldn't get the same tingle on any of my existing amps.
Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious. Just what I've found
I've played two LSL T types and they were both cracking guitars. In fact, I've played three pine guitars and they've all been brilliant.
On that note, check out Novo's Serus T.
The tone is in the fat neck for sure
50s buttersctch or sand Baja is as good as any other high end tele except Nocaster
I have now Played 3 Rick Kelly Telecasters :any serious tele person knows about these roughly finished 200year old pine teles with necks like telegraph poles ( not nocaster baseball bats )
...whilst I think they are ridiculously expensive for rough carpentry not luthiery they prove to me that the fat neck makes a big tone and resonance difference - He uses pine necks Without truss rods which he thinks kill tone therefore the necks have to be very fat to prevent twist: even in 200 year old settled timber
Hard to play but they sound awesome
1980 Tokai LS-80
This is spot on too.

Its not snobiness on my behalf @pia98jf i have had a few partscasters and base my opinion on that. K Line select the woods cut and shape assemble and sell, but within that process lies an awful lot of experience, knowledge, care and expertise...thats the difference
I'm talking about factory built guitars like Fender etc. The parts are mass produced and are designed so that any neck can be fitted to any body. If you build a part caster you are not doing anything different from what the factory does when it builds a "genuine" guitar. In fact, if you get it property set up you are probably going beyond what the factory does. Therefore, dismissing partcasters is nonesensical.
