Bought my '06 AV52RI new, and even though I still have not fell in love with the guitar in over a year later, I must say that it completley changed the way I play now. It inspired me to learn to be a better player and chase down licks and bends that I otherwise wouldn't have gone after since I was a die hard Strat player and had ditched acouple of Teles over the years. It put me back where I needed to be, a Tele picker, and I'm happy playing again and no longer feel that "rut" that alot of us get into playing the same 'ol same 'ol year after year. I own four really good Teles now.......Still not overly excited about the 52, but understand and appreciate what it represents to those who cherish them and I owe it some credit for my interest in playing these days.......I will agree that they are put together really nicley. I thought of selling mine awhile back, I've got two upgraded MIATeles that fit me better, my co-worker told me to sell it since I never played it. He said it wasn't anything but a trophy to me . He's right, but I'm gonna keep it anyway.....
