Just purchased Charcoal Frost Metallic AV65 Thin Skin!

Post by pocaloc » Wed Jun 30, 2021 8:54 am

I just purchased my dream Jazzmaster, absolutely zero compromise, this is the exact guitar that I've wanted ever since they were new at Wildwood. I regularly stared at them on Wildwood for years and couldn't afford one, now I think I paid about exactly what one would've been new. I don't care though, I'm happy. It looks like it has all of the case candy in new shape with the OHSC in new shape. The guitar is also in great shape other than one small ding that I don't care about. It was on Reverb for a day and already had 41 watchers and 1 offer. I called the shop up, Division Street Guitars out of Peekskill, NY and I was able to get a better price. They were really nice too. I'm pretty excited.

Congrats! I saw that one on Reverb. It's a beauty. Be sure to post photos when it arrives.

I have a Jaguar I finished in CFM and I love it.

Thanks, I love Charcoal Frost. I love tort and think it is one of the best colors to take a tort pickguard. The one I bought comes with the original mint guard and there is tort on it. I'll still probably end up getting a spitfire.

Congrats! I saw that one on Reverb the other day. It looked great with the tort guard. Not surprised it went quickly. Here's my CFM family. Looking forward to seeing pics of when yours arrives.

Aw man, saw that one today and contemplated calling em up to see if they'd take my '59 thin skin as a trade. Congrats though, that's a keeper. So jealous.

Sorry, I kept trying to get it posted right. I’ve done it before but I post pics so rarely that I always forget. If someone fixes this for me, could you point me towards instructions on how to properly embed photos? :-[

From your Flickr album, click the righty-facing arrow to 'Share Photo'.
