I was handed a fender telecaster and told to sell it. The problem, is that I can't tell which exact guitar this is. Please, if anyone can help me out here, I need to know the essential facts for selling this at a good price. Basicaly, I want to know everything I need to know about this guitar.
Thank you for your time.

That's just it, I have no idea. To be honest, I'm not a musician and I know nothing of guitars. My father is the one who owns it, and it was given to him while he was at work a year or two ago. He knows just as much as I do.
as for the pics, I'll get right on it =]

Ok mmm no serial number ... well to know what year it is You could take the neck off the body adn look in the neck pocket and the neck itself there should be a date there..... .. From looking at it I can kind of see that it might be a vintage tele because the trussrod hole isnt at the headstock... BUT i never owned a tele so I am no expert on teles.... but I know it has EMG pickups and it looks cool I guess but yeah take the neck off so we can see a date somewhere....... :)

Just a guess, but is that from the Fotoflame series. I know they were made in Japan around that time period.

Could be some kind of Reissue model? PUs definitely not original. Are these jumbo frets?
