A 2007 FSR AVRI '52 "Thin Skin" Tele. The guitar is in great shape and is playing quite nicely. Has the nice, thick U-shape neck which really is fitting my hands well. Specs are the same as the standard '52 RI except for:

- 9.5" radius (7.25" on standard RI)
- Custom Shop '51 Nocaster pickups
- Thin skin all nitro finish
- comes with modern wiring
- Dunlop 6105 frets

Here are some pics. I'll use mostly ones from the store as they are much higher quality than the pics I took with my iPhone:

So far I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Really digging the neck and the pickups are fantastic. Sounds great with my '71 Deluxe Reverb. Punchy, clear and snappy. :mrgreen:

That is THE TELE! Very nice. I personally love the really thin finish and the wood grain flowing. Enjoy it!

I love that guitar! I purchased my ash Deluxe Tele in butterscotch so that I could get close to your version. My Deluxe Tele is missing the vintage bridge and tuners but has the 9.5 neck radius and medium jumbo frets I wanted. I wish the special run would be repeated!

Beautiful guitar!! I am finding the the Tele is addicting.
I just bought a 50's style Classic Player Baja Tele with the soft V shaped neck. Color is Dessert Sand and came with the white pick guard. I like the looks of your's with the black. Maybe I'll put a 3 ply black guard on it.
Just purchased a Graph Tech string tree to replace the "washer type" on top. The rest will remain stock. Love the tone.

Nice gear. Can somebody tell me what the stickers on the neck plate mean?

Very nice! I'm not sure how I'd feel about the U shaped neck, but I could probably get over it. That body has a nice grain pattern on it.
