I am not a veteran member. I do want to know if my guitar is legitimate.

Post some pics.

Are you asking this question because you went here: http://www.fender.com/support/mexican_instruments.php and saw "MN6+ 5 digits 1996-1997", yet your guitar is +6 digits??? Don't worry about it. I'm 99.9999999999999% certain it's legit. Or at least the neck is legit, remember Teles are modular and necks/bodies can be swapped. So post some pics.

Besides, it's rare that someone would fake a Mexican made Fender from 1996-1997. It would cost more to fake all of the details than scammers would be able to sell the guitar for. Fakers usually try to replicate US made and Custom Shop Fenders. More bang for the buck that way.
