I was looking through my Vintage Guitar price guide, and found a Custom Shop "'60's Telecaster Custom." It was produced from '96-'99. Again, I think that the guitar and paperwork are not for the same guitar.

I feel that John C is on the right track with this.

After reading the responses in this thread, talking with Fender, and doing some other digging on my own, I think John C probably has the right answer here. I'm pretty sure at this point that it is in fact an AVRI 62 Tele Custom with a replaced neck plate. It would explain most if not all of the discrepancies with the guitar. I also took a look at the pickups/wiring and it matches with a 62 Custom. Still not sure where the COA came from though.

I did have one question though - as seen from the pictures, the dates on the neck and body are not the same, although they are within a month or two of each other. Is that normal on an AVRI guitar? Things I've read elsewhere seem to suggest that it is normal, but I figured I'd ask here.
