All present & accounted for! (thanks Wildwood)
So, as promised in my earlier posts ("Almost ready to commit), here are some photos of my new, '52 thin-skin HB. The following chronicle my morning and might help someone in the future who might wonder how guitars are shipped from dealers (at least from Wildwood).

Since I'm still pretty new at posting photos to the TDPRI, I'll post these two at a time (hope thats okay...)

I'll post my impressions of the guitar a little later today.

Thanks to all who helped me decide on the right guitar and pointing me to Wildwood!

Photos part two
As it looked when first opening the case.

And the little warning tag that was hanging from the cases handle. I thought it was good for a laugh How could anyone wait 24 hours? At any rate I cant wait. If the finish checks, it checks. Bound to happen eventually.

Nice score! I have brought guitars in from the freezing cold and read that warning. I think I was able to wait ten minutes once...

Most important photo
And finally the most important photo for any guitarist; a HAPPY guy with his new Tele!

Thanks again everyone!

I'll post my impressions of the guitar later on tonight. I've been playing through lunch and I still have errands to run...

Hope y'all have a wonderful day!

What's the weight on that beauty?

Was that the 6.92 lbs. one?

I almost snagged one a few weeks ago - have a small case of myfundsarelow I need to shake first...

Congrats - she is stunning!!!

That grain pattern is one of the best I've seen. No wonder you've assumed the 'Cheshire cat' grin. Enjoy it
