#05 Thinline

Buy on Reverb

This is a lovingly made and finished “partscaster” with premium parts and setup. Built under the Quint Guitars brand, this guitar was created with a specific vision: to achieve an ultra-light and extremely resonant instrument that could sustain for days.

Features

  • Beautiful pine semi-hollow body with stunning woodgrain visible through the finish
  • Expert relic touches by MJT
  • Hand-finished roasted maple neck with rosewood fretboard, treated with Tung Oil and wax
  • Unique pickup combination for maximum grit and sustain:
    • Fralin Steel Pole 43 in the neck (P90-style)
    • Fralin High Output in the bridge
  • Reversed control layout with smooth-turning Bournes pots
  • Ultra-light weight at just 6lbs 9oz

Sound and Playability

The combination of pickups delivers serious output that really drives a tube amp, providing instant grit and feedback when desired. The Bournes pots are intentionally looser than standard CTS pots, making it easy to perform volume control fades and tremolo effects.

Construction Details

Every component has been carefully selected for both tone and reliability:

  • Premium Gotoh hardware throughout
  • High-quality Bournes potentiometers
  • Professional cloth wiring
  • Switchcraft jack with electrosocket mount
  • Steel barrel control knobs
  • Three-ply cream pickguard

The guitar ships with a basic gig bag, with an optional hard-shell case available upon request.
