Can anyone please confirm if this is a real Fender USA 1999 Telecaster. Just the headstock details all being on the front and can't find the serial number listed ?

Nice, and the pics are good.
Looks legit to me.
But the N9 serial is funny; the good people @Fender ordered a lot of new N-serial numbers in the beginning of the nineties and quite a few N9's went by mistake in guitars built in 1990... The front serial would place this one there. What's in the neck pocket/end?

So, do you think this is a 90/91 model? The guys at Fender seem to think so based on an email last night.

Yes, that (1990ish) was my first impression, and that was because of the number placement.

Fender's serial number records don't go much beyond 1993, but a 1999 US serial should (there are exceptions) be in the database - that would be another sign of the earlier manufacturing year. The details showing on the guitar would fit both options.

Either way, you can't go wrong with a black Tele. :wink:
