Everthing sounds right. Sounds like the right stamps and marks, too.
+1, reckon the photo is telling porkies because of the radius, your guitar sounds identical to mine Rick although those dots do look wider apart on the photo compared to my photo . I don't have mine here to check the dot spacing but I'll look tomorrow. I'm sure you have an AV52 thin skin though from the description. And I'm saying that as an owner of both an MIJ 52 RI and the thin skin AV52.

Well spotted though Fuzzy, I never think to look, you are a marvel sir. Kindly refer back to the thread about the Nocaster for more plaudits please, and just keep doing what you do!

All the above plus "Grain is clearly visible through finish, and slightly sunk in so grain is visible physically from the right angle, as well as optically" - yep, got that too, the most notable thin skin attribute over the standard 52 that I've noticed..
