Hi everybody!

Recently I've got an '85 tele made in Japan for 500€ (almost 500 USD), I know that was made in Japan in the '85 because I've done a research by serial number through the Fender website (by the way is that enough to be sure that this guitar is authentic?).

So, that's the question: is that a good deal? I buyed the guitar because 500$ it's almost the price of a good Squier, but when I tried the guitar the feeling was a lot much better than a Squier!

Thank you for your time!

You can see 3 pics of my guitar following these links:

Greetings from Italy!

Looks legit to me, model TL-62B is my guess.
The serial number alone doesn't guarantee anything - but you could check it with Fender's Consumer Relations (email via support pages) to get the original specs for that serial, and compare those to your guitar.

In my 'hood, that would be a lowish price on a MIJ Tele, so I'd say you made a good deal.
Play on, play LOUD.
