Hello,
I recently acquired a telecaster from 2006 that I can't really identify.

N° Z 6242935

It's USA made, blonde, it has the logo of the 60th anniversary behind the headstock so it's not a limited. It's not a standard either because it has the old bridge with 3 saddles and a 4 positions pickup switch.

Can someone help me identify it? And give me the specs what are my pickups etc.

Thanks

Fabrice

Hello, here is the picture, I think it has been modified with a US 52 kit. Maybe.

Looks like a Highway 1 Tele - with the matte finish body, 22-fret neck and 70s-style headstock decal. It has been modded - the stock saddles would have been the steel ones and this has brass ones, and the 4-way switch is also a mod as they had a 3-way switch stock.

Oui je parle français,
première position, micros en parallèle puis le reste comme les autres, manche les deux en série, chevalet.
Ça donne un son plus grave sur la 1ère position.

Send an email to fender with the serial consumerrelations@fender.com
Hopefully they will be happy to answer your questions.
As the guys have said an unusual mix.
Could even be a special run I just dunno! :D

Guitare avec l'électronique très modifiée alors en effet.
Inscrit ta demande sur la section/ forum en Français , en bas de l'écran, je suivrai.

Picture of the knobs and switch may help to know if they are made in USA
Picture of the back of head stock, neck plate.

Basically a Highway 1 in Honey Blonde.
The Decal was changed to the larger 70's style in 2006-7

It has 22 frets. It's a Highway 1 with aftermarket saddles and 4-way switch (and maybe other mods - I think the pickguard was changed so the pickups could be changed as well).
