Given your history, I'd be a wee bit surprised you didn't know it off hand....

 

:D

 

 

Nah nothing to do with history other than I saw it was a thinline right off the bat. From there it was just Google: Gary Moore + Thinline + Double Cutaway + Tele msp_biggrin.gif

EXACTLY what I did... only not NEARLY so quickly heheheh

 

 

I actually like the Thinlines... the one I played had humbuckers, though, so that might explain it.

Fender did make a :huh: ... either a Tele or Strat hollow body. Cut to the rough shape of it's solid body name sake. I just don't remember which one. The hollow body did use the namesake's prefix, like Telecoustic or something like that. Maybe they did both. I would not say, out of hand, this is NOT a bona fide Fender.

The Telecoustic and Strat equivalent was a true acoustic shaped like the namesake. http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0967310006

 

What you're thinking of is the Thinline Tele - a semi-hollow body electric shaped like a Telecaster. http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0137402321

The second one is the one I was thinking about. BUt I now remember the round holed ones. If memory serves me, and sometimes it don't, the Thinline Tele had only a half a sound box. Just under the "F" hole. The treble side was solid. No?
