9.5 radius, roasted maple neck, Twisted Tele pickups, these look very sweet. Too bad I just got a 50s AO a while back or I'd be thinking very seriously about one of these...

There's always another guitar to be had.

 

[Minivan Megafun]

That is some horribly matched grain on that body. Yikes.

 

[KCJonez]

neck looks sweet

That's exactly what I thought. No thanks.

 

[50hz]

Really love this feature set. If I was in the market I'd def. consider this over the new AVII that's for sure.

Can't believe they let that one leave the factory like that.

The other 3 are better matched than that one - but I imagine given the current stash of ash Fender has to work with there will be some that turn out like the one in the OP.

I wonder how many more Thin Skins Wildwood and/or Daves have in the pipeline - Wildwood has been saying that Fender won't be doing any more runs for them for the foreseeable future. I suspect these were ordered months ago and are just now being shipped.

I have a 2012 AV52, and was thinking I would grab a Thin Skin when they became available and sell it. After seeing the listings that plan died without hesitation.

 

[Rosewoodtele]

Not that particular one, but the others look great. Really like the specs.

Literally just ordered an AVII ‘63 tele though and it’s on the way. Will need a 50s style someday but my rosewood top tele is ash and my American pro is ash as well.

 

[Greenmachine]

Sexy neck.

 

[Slim Chance]

Seams so.

 

[Minivan Megafun]

Can't believe they let that one leave the factory like that.

Honestly. It's like CBS Fender all over again lately. That body should have been used for a solid colour finish.

 

[LightsOn45]

That is some horribly matched grain on that body. Yikes.

Squiers get better love than that one. Ouch.

 

[John C]

Well somebody must have liked that one; it's no longer on Wildwood's site.

Probably the weight and the features more than the looks of that particular one.

Yep; that's what I was thinking as well - some one liked the weight and the neck depth. I don't remember what they were but one of the things I like about Wildwood is they put the weight, 1st fret depth and 12th fret depth up for all the instruments on their website.
