52RI
It is at Roel's Telecaster gallery by the way.

Not IMHO, Cam. That one's a beaut. I do, however, know what folks are talking about. Just a thick, orangey, pudding llooking finish that many don't care for.

Regardless...... if people are happy with their particular guitar, that's all that counts. I played a friend's 52 RI, which was pretty nice. Played a few others in the stores I wasn't crazy about, and some had the pudding finish. I went with a 50's Classic after reading about them here and seeing a decent price on a used one. I'm pretty happy with it.
