I won the Fender "Shine a Light" American Telecaster. :D I can find next to nothing about this guitar. :(

Some contest adverts touted it as "one of one" (doubtful) and others indicated it is one of two (more likely) with one from Fender and one from the Rolling Stones MySpace page.

Then one suddenly showed up on eBay via a consignment company, signed by all members--apparently from an MTV contest--before suddenly being pulled.

The serial number between mine and the one on eBay is 11 apart.

If anyone has any info, it would be much appreciated.

OK, here's the skinny ... there were 9 of these made. 6 were given to the filmmakers for their own promotional use -- I believe MySpace and MTV ended up with 2 of these. 1 other one was given to charity, and 1 was our prize on Fender.com. And the remaining example is currently on display here at Fender HQ.

Your post naturally greatly concerned me as I wanted to make extra-sure we didn't miscommunicate or overstate things in our own giveaway presentation on this site ... I just delved through our archival promotional materials in detail and was unable to find any instances where we overstated things (not saying that we didn't, per se, just that I can't presently find any examples) but again, we certainly greatly apologize for the confusion caused on your end!!
