On the new American Vintage II version, the ash body is fashioned from two solid sections of ash glued together at the guitar’s center line. To create the lighter, semi-hollow Thinline, Rossmeisl adopted the construction technique he developed for Rickenbacker: routing acoustic chambers from a solid section of ash, and then capping the back of the guitar with a thinner section of wood.

The first Telecaster Thinline, which appeared in 1969, was hatched from the mind by Roger Rossmeisl, who famously designed Rickenbacker’s 300 series guitars, among others, before moving to Fender and conceiving the Coronado, Montego, and the company’s mid-’60s acoustic line. Pickups were not the only deviation from design norms that distinguished the ’72 Thinline.

Beavis Audio Research has a whole bunch of great information, including well-laid-out, easy-to-read diagrams.They've also got downloadable PCB layouts, sell quality PCBs, and some of the most well-documented projects out there, from beginner to advanced level. Madbean Pedals hosts a forum with lots of really nice, helpful folks.The Tagboard Effects blog has Vero-type stripboard layouts for popular pedal schematics, as well as a helpful forum.The Effects Layouts blog features some of the tidiest PCBs and layouts for perf boards based on popular guitar-pedal schematics.It's where I met invaluable mentors like Pink Jimi Photon (of PJP Effects), and Dino Tsiptsis and Phil Moulder, whose Dead End FX site has intermediate to advanced projects and PCBs, including some pretty rare stompbox gems.
