Hello everyone, I just picked up a fender telecaster custom of craigslist and was wondering if you could help me determine the year. There is no serial on the back neckplate. On the headstock it says "Fender Custom Telecaster Des. 164,227 Pat. 2,573,254 2,784,631" I'm not sure what the numbers mean but i think the Des. number is the serial? I looked it up online with that as the serial and that dates it to 66 or 67 i believe. Heres some pictures, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post a pic of the back of the headstock? I see nothing that designates it as a Custom Shop build. Did it come with a COA?
The decal does not look right nor the saddles (6 instead of 3)
I could be wrong of course!

The back of the headstock has nothing on it. I can post a picture if you still want me to. No I got no COA. Just a craigslist buy and was curious about its age since someone pointed out the serial number and age possiblity.

The bridge looks like it may be from the '80s.

I just checked a random tele in the products. They have 8 screws holding the pickguard.
