I have one of the 40 Tele Thin skins that were made for Music Machine last year on ebay , I was emailed a question that took me by surprise and I don't
have an answer.

The question was is the body two-piece, or three piece?
Thought they were all ONE PIECE anyone with an answer?

It's hard to tell from your photos on Ebay. I know of a 'Thin Skin' dealer (Music Machine wasn't the only one), who currently has photos of six different ones, same as your model, and some appear to be two piece.

If the pieces of Ash are well matched front and back, the easiest way to tell is from the side edges of the guitar. If there is dissimilarity in grain, it should be easy to tell from there, especially with a semi-transparent finish.

I am not sure that Music Machine still has the 2006 52 tele's theyare different tfrom the ones they had made for 2007 .

I have now found out it is 3 piece

Just curious, how do the 2006 models differ from the 2007 ones? I'd like to get one, but can't afford it at the moment.

When the original Thin Skins were ordered by
Dave's,Willwood,GuitarSales and Music Machine they only ordered 40 52 Tele's those sold out so quickly they ordered more this year ( 2007) with the only difference being the Radius Maple Fingerboard
7.25 in 2006 9.5 in 2007

I know Dave's Guitar Shop well (my fave), that's where I found the photos from before. They're nice guys!

I have an '07 Thin Skin '52 and I can't tell if the body is one or two pieces. There actually isn't much grain showing at all on the sides...what is showing is very feint. If it is two pieces, they did a heckuva job disguising it.
