New here. I bought this Tele years ago on eBay. I recently removed the 60th anniversary neck and saw that it is a 2010 MIM neck from the serial number on it. I know the body is from a different Telecaster, but I can't for the life of me make out the serial number and the date in the neck pocket. I believe it may be mid 2000s? The marker isn't making it any easier. Can anyone make out these numbers? I'd appreciate it.

With FMIC, a serial number is for the whole instrument. It may be on the headstock (front/back), neck back, bridge, neckplate, depending on the model.
So, if a neck and a body are separated, the serial and the data based on it follow the part they're in.

Some bodies have a model number or a part number in the neck pocket, but those six red blurry digits don't seem to fit any model I know of; it's usually five numbers only. The date seems to start MAY 03, but the year is unreadable.

On the neck: The year 2011 (Tele 60th Anni) is quite a puzzle. I think all Teles around that time (the party stretched a couple of months both ways) had some marks of the celebration, and there were official plus FSR/Limited anniversary models, from different countries.

From that one pic only, ID'ing a model, or even if that body is from FMIC, is downright impossible.
