DIfference between ....

[add4]

Just a random question.....
I'm wondering what the difference is between a hollow telecaster, and a thinline?
Someone has any idea about that? in terms of construction and sound.

I believe Hollow means the same as the Thinline... But perhaps you meant the Chambered...

Construction = the thinline has two big holes in the body:

The Chambered has lots of small holes:

Although "hollow" and "thinline" do mean the same thing pretty much, there are actually two different routs. The regular Thinline is almost entirely hollow while the 72 Thinline rout is almost entirely solid on the control side and only properly hollow in one half.

Here's a photo of a Warmoth 72 Thinline rout......yet another variant....

If going the Bigsby direction on a Thinline or Hollow, the route behind the bridge can be omitted as well.
