Loving all of the thin skins in this thread, not a bad colour among them!

Put a Spitfire on mine. Came out a little crazier than I’d expected but I like how explosive it is. I meant to do a NPGD dang it...

That's a beautiful guitar but that pickguard makes it look like somebody puked on it.

Yes I think Ocean Turquoise Metallic completes the list, my favorite Fender color, or at least top 3. I have one, love the big neck. I don’t really care so much about it being vintage or not—they already walked away from that with the 9.5” radius. I imagine there was more variability anyways at that time, so one can’t just take a handful of data points and infer all were a certain neck size.
I'm starting to think that a OTM is up there with LPB for fav blue/green custom colors, I'd almost take OTM over LPB at this point. Either one of these or the Charcoal Frost thin skins will be in my possession one day.
I wasn’t really a fan of LPB (I like IBM better) but it looks nice when the lacquer yellows, in fact it looks almost like OTM :?

Looks great to me but pretty wild. I played with putting my Sptifire on mine, an older thick, crazy 60s burgundy I guess. I sold it instead and bought some pedals and lunch. Kinda wish I went for it. ::)

It's really caught my eye lately. This didn't help one bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWL_uyf1QCw. There's a Thin Skin OTM that popped up on reverb just now and I'm so tempted to buy that with one of the credit cards that I just paid off :? :fp:

Oh man that real ‘66(?) is in crazy clean condition, and a ringer for the Thin Skin version :?
