The Shop’s Take (TL;DR)
Here is a Keith Holland Custom #1271 T-NS-Thinline in Excellent condition, finished in a translucent Red Wine over an ash semi-hollow body. At approximately 6.4 pounds, this is an unusually light T-style guitar with a decidedly vintage feel: a 7.25" fingerboard radius, medium C neck profile, 6230 fretwire, Kluson-style vintage tuners, and a set of Kinman '60s Telecaster pickups. The result is a highly responsive, comfortable Thinline-style instrument that combines traditional Tele proportions with the added openness and reduced weight of a semi-hollow build.
Full Description
This Keith Holland Custom #1271 is a T-NS-Thinline semi-hollow electric guitar built around a lightweight ash body with a translucent Red Wine finish.
The semi-hollow construction keeps the overall weight down to approximately 6.4 pounds and gives the guitar a lively, resonant feel while retaining the familiar attack and immediacy of a T-style instrument.
The maple neck is paired with a rosewood fingerboard featuring a traditional 7.25" radius and 6230 vintage-style fretwire. The neck profile is a medium C, giving the guitar a comfortable, familiar feel without becoming excessively large or thin.
Vintage-style Kluson tuners complete the traditional hardware approach.
A set of Kinman '60s Telecaster pickups provides the voice of the instrument. These are designed around classic Tele-style tones while offering the low-noise performance Kinman pickups are known for.
The combination of ash, semi-hollow construction, vintage fret dimensions, and Tele-style single coils gives this guitar a very traditional foundation, while the lighter body and custom-build approach make it feel distinctly different from a standard production T-style guitar.
The translucent Red Wine finish allows the grain of the ash body to remain visible and gives the guitar a rich, understated appearance.
This is a particularly appealing instrument for a player who likes traditional Telecaster ergonomics and response but wants something lighter, more resonant, and less common than a standard production model.
