Just picked up this beauty on Friday:

Image

This is one of the "Thin Skin" FSR guitars built for Wildwood back in 2008. Apparently I'm the 3rd owner, but there's not a mark on her. It seriously looks brand new (not even pick marks on the guard). Came with ALL the original case candy - including the hang tags. Even the tweed case looks like it just came out of the factory carton.

On close inspection, it is a nicely matched 2-piece body. I love the grain pattern.

I emailed the serial # to the good people at Fender Customer Service and received this:

Very cool the way the wood grain seems to flow from the end of the bridge plate on that guitar. Gorgeous. Congratulations!

Very nice! I think it's cool that the neck plate reads LEO. (Limited Edition 00) An extra plus.

Thanks!

I've since tweaked the setup a bit and switched it over the 5-strings (dedicated open G). It's got a very brash and in your face sound! The U-neck is really much more comfortable than I would have imagined.

I'm interested to see how this finish ages because these models do not have the poly undercoat.
