I'm to be purchasing this guitar later tonight and want to double check your expert opinions on it.

From the ad its a 2011 60th Anniversary Tele. I looked up the serial number on this site and it brought me straight to the correct model 2008-2011 down to the colour, but lets say the number was copied.

Im leaning towards its authenticity, but what scares me is that the pick ups have been upgraded to Fender Noiseless Vintage. How can i validate that? What if the seller just put in $@!&#* ones.

thanks, ill give you guys a virtual high five

Alas, this forum delays the first post of new members. Although you submitted your question several days ago, it just appeared on the index page this afternoon.

The answer doesn't help now, but yes that looks genuine.

Looks legit to me, too, but there's a catch22.

That's an American Standard Telecaster, 011-0500-721 - the 721 is "Natural" color.

It's not the 60th Anniversary Telecaster 011-6112-768 in Butterscotch Blonde.
