Fender thin skin 52 RI Tele

[caspersvapors]

what are your thoughts on this guitar? whats a fair price for a used one?

I played the regular American Vintage 52 and found the neck to be a bit sticky and thin, sounded good though

$1000 - 1100 is a good price. The nitro neck may be sticky but that's easy to deal with. Just get some micro mesh. I use it on all of the necks on my guitars.

can anybody comment on the neck? is a u-shape thick?

I've been looking for another one of these for a while and they are pretty hard to come by. Usually sellers are trying to get $1250-1400 on the ones I have seen and they aren't all that clean. As far as the neck shape, it feels identical to the AVRI 52 other than it not being as hard to play. The bigger frets on the thin skin and the flatter radius make it a lot easier to play. The finish feels about the same from what I remember. I know about these, because I had one when they first came out and foolishly sold it to get something different.

Its a U..its bigger than the AVRI IMO. The AVRI neck is absolutley unique to only that model.
Mine is thinskin LE HB model and feels very substantial.
I used to own the AVRI. Pricing on the LE HB used is higher they made 150 for wildwood.
Either thin LE...probably as mentioned anywhere from 1100-1400 and I would pay more for a lighter one.

I have one of the Wildwood ones with the Humbucker, yeah it's a U shape neck. I love this Tele. I especially love the CS Nocaster bridge pup.

The bridge is a 52 AV..still nice...but not a nocaster according to the spec
sheet I have. The LE thin with the singles got the nocasters.
I raised my bridge pup a little to get more bite out of it and it pushes just fine..good sound.
