Re: 72 Thinline Tele RI
my roomate last year had one of those teles, and let me tell you, that thing had an awesome neck on it. as far as the pickups, i didnt care for them that much, but i bet a set of phat cats would sound great in it. that's probably what i would stick in if i got one.

I'm not sure, but the Wide Range HB looks a bit bigger than a standard HB or Phat Cat. The Phat Cat sounds great in a Tele, but I doubt that the AIIP has the juice to keep up with it - the Jerry Donahue is a much better match in the AII family.
I'm not sure about mounting, but if there is room for a single mounting screw between the existing holes, then you could just drill and mount. You can use shortened dummy screws to fill the blank holes afterwards -- all the kids on the block will wonder where you got a pickup that required 3 mounting screws per side. :cool3: :burnout:

Re: 72 Thinline Tele RI
I'd suggest a new pickguard with correct-size holes for standard hbs. I'm sure one of the aftermarket places does one.
I'm not such a fan of the WRHBs. I have a tele custom with one, and I modded it to cut a coil. With the coils split, it sounds great, but it's a little wooly in full humbucker mode. I have heard thinlines that sound really good with the WRHBs, though, in particular an MIJ one I played a few months ago. Perhaps the pickups suit the thinline's wood combination better than the custom's.
Aside from the pickups, I really like the thinline ri.
