Mm, not sure the top horn is correct - there's a tiny flat section between strap button and the turn into the heel. IMO an authentic outline is subtly sorta S-shaped there. #lockdownproblems
@Nahguavkire Rich would deffo be on the paint list.
I dunno, maybe buying a raw body and getting a pro finish is OTT. Maybe I should buy a Classic Vibe thinline, strip and paint the body myself, I could reconstitute it as a refin Squier and flog it later if need be...

Rich prices himself (imho) far too competitively. I've had a couple of mates-rates finishes done by luthiers in London that were more expensive, even with postage costs to and from Wales. Honestly not as good either, and also not nitro.
I had a telecaster body painted by him a year or so ago. I won't mention his prices here, but (for me at least, given I don't like painting) I would really struggle to justify doing it myself. Anyway - might be worth asking him for a price, even if you're only vaguely considering it .

Oh man, I love that guitar Rick. And isn’t the top horn outline just the CBS era shape?
