As a follow up I was able to score a 2008 Vintage White 62 AVRI on Tuesday from Shelton's Guitars and it arrived today. It looks exactly like the one shown earlier in the thread. The front looks immaculate with one big chip on the back. Spent an hour getting it set up the way I like and it is a great sounding guitar that delivers a great vintage Strat sound. Lowered the pickups, tuned down 1/2 step, plugged into a Blackface amp, cranked it up so it slightly breaks up, added a little reverb and I am getting a nice SRV'ish type sound. I do have a '65 AVRI so I was able to do a quick comparison of the neck pickups before driving my son to soccer practice. I find that the 57/62 neck pickup is a little hotter and a little brighter but overall they are not that far apart. You can get a used 62 AVRI at $1K less than a new 65 AVRI (although I did get my 65 AVRI used) and it's a very high quality guitar for that price. I'm a happy camper.

Sure. The lazy man solution is to send you the link to the page at Shelton's Guitars with all the images..

http://www.sheltonsguitars.com/2014/04- ... white.html

BTW: I opened it up and noticed that the pickups are not marked in any way but I assume they are the 57/62's...
