For all Lovers of 72 Thinlines / My new Toy!!

[Blobcaster]

looks like the neck might've been on a four hole body at one point,on the body i can only see one extra hole,that might have been the paint stick they used in the 70's to hang them on the trees  .

wow!  What a score!  I was following them for a friend and nothing ran under $2k and the ones close to that number were whupped or had loads of changed parts.  Congrats!

The wood on that neck is stunning.

Yes, it's rather a prominent lip. In the photo below, there are 2 mysterious holes in the neck and body that dont go all the way through. I don't know the idea behind it all.

Hey, I have a question:  I understand that the bass-side of a Thinline is hollow and not the treble-side.  To what extent is the bass side hollow at all?  I mean, is there a diagram somewhere that shows how large the hollow cavity is and the shape of it and averything?

Speaking of new toys/ '72 Thinlines - here's my latest toy, a Matsumoku-made Vorg by Pearl Thinline-copy from 1977 which I bought recently on eBay for a mere EUR 250,00...



As you can see the guitar features a beautiful transparent (butterscotch) blonde finish which looks completely different than the finishes of Fender's (old & current) 'Thinlines', and not only is this guitar extremely light, it's also hands-down the best-playing guitar I currently own...
