I have a 1990 MIA traditional tele (serial no N900600) that I'm looking to sell, but I'm not sure if the body is original. The neck plate is plain and although the neck has it the body doesn't have the neck tilt mechanism. Not sure how to paste photos here so here's a dropbox link with some photos

Anybody any ideas whether it's the real thing

I am no expert but looks ok to me.
The traditional is a USA/Mexican hybrid so not worth as much as a fully USA made guitar.
Top loader no micro tilt built on a budget. :D

General concensus is the American Traditional Teles were made in 1999 for export. Sort of early Highway 1. As jimmy_james says they were a joint effort between Fender's Mexican and USA plants.

FYI the metal disc on the heel of your guitar neck is the truss rod anchor. Microtilt discs are larger.
