Odd, I had that thought in my mind too.

I like it. From the Fender specs it has a 9.5" radius (not that pansie-ass 12" shit). It would be better with a bolt on neck. 7.25" radius would be icing on the cake.

As much as I want to like f-holes on a tele, I just can't do it

A Thinline can be sweet and nasty. You can do those soft jazz riffs, next you can't decide which distorion pedal to use. They are without a doubt, one of my favourites. I used to have a mid 80's '72 Japanese reissue (Bought new. The most expensive guitar purchase ever.). That thing was sweet!

Hollow body version of the TC90 then?

No Tele should have a tuneomatic. Bigsby or Tele bridge. End of.

Funny you should say that I was thinking about that very thing at work today and came to the same conclusion. The tune-o-matic bridge just doesn’t look right, i’d go for a Bigsby.
