Was looking online for a flame top standardTele MIM. Seems like there are CS Teles out there but nothing MIM.

I have a beautiful MIM Strat with a flame top and would like a Tele to compliment it. Anyone ever seen one?

Just the duel humbucker FMT from Korea. I think its a fixed/glued neck model as well. You could mod it back to a standard type tele pickups if you wished.

Below is the beautiful 2011 Fender "Telebration" 60th Anniversary Telecaster, with three color burst, gold American Deluxe Hardware, and AAAA maple flame top that was shown at NAMM in 2011.

Unfortunately, the Telecaster that Fender produced in the limited production "Telebration" flametop run of guitars, had a nearly invisible flametop, gold American "Standard" hardware, and what appeared to be a two color burst, such as the Telecaster that appears below and appears to be currently available here:

Lovely mis-matched color on the bookmatched maple "flametop".
I had originally ordered one of these Telebration Flametop Telecasters, based on the NAMM photos and declined to make the purchase.

Otherwise, good luck finding one of these 40th Anniversary flametop Fender Telecasters.
You might want to contact Keith Urban and see if any of his 40th Anniversary flametops were not destroyed in the 2010 Nashville flood.

Might be able to make this ring work. In conjunction with this one.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
