Starliner Thinline
The thinline version of the Starliner family — a maple-top-over-mahogany build that trades the line's solid slab body for a lighter, semi-hollow-style construction.
About this guitar
Starliner Thinline is the fourth and most distinct member of the Starliner family, pairing a maple top over a mahogany body in a thinline configuration rather than the solid slab body used by the JR, Express, and Deluxe versions. It keeps the same 24.75” scale and Wenge fretboard, with Wolfetone, Lollar, or TV Jones pickup options.
