Personal Thoughts:
You already know what this is. Dale Wilson. Featherweight. Full-fat tone. This '72 Thinline is one of those rare Masterbuilt guitars that nails both mojo and playability in equal measure. The ash body is super resonant, and the roasted quartersawn neck feels like an old friend—comfortable, familiar, with a vintage touch.
The new spec CUNIFE Wide Range Humbuckers have real clarity and punch—they give this guitar that unmistakable hollow snap you want from a Thinline, but with a hi-fi edge that cuts through beautifully. The relic job? Classic Wilson. Tasteful, detailed, and utterly believable.
Condition Report:
Mint. Barely used, collector owned. No wear beyond factory relic that we can see. Frets perfect, setup low and clean. Honestly, if you tried to order one now, you’d be waiting years—and paying a premium. This is the one.
