Hey,

I have bought a telecaster second hand and I am trying to identify all the parts.

The neck is a: AMERICAN DELUXE ASH TELECASTER® (2004-2010) but the body does not have a S1 switch so I do not knwo what to think.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

The sticker in the neck pickup cavity: 0038417 is an Ash body. The same body was used for AmDlx Ash and AmSeries models with sunbursts & naturals - and probably other models, too, judging from that mid pup routing.
The 703 is the color code for Sunburst. (IIRC, in some Fender documents 503 and 703 are mixed for 2TSB and 3TSB, but it's a burst code anyways...)

The serial checks out in the Product Registration Database; says it's a "American Deluxe Ash Telecaster® (2004-2010)".

The S1 switch is on the model's 2004 service diagram. But S1's are known to break, and the wiring could have been repaired with traditional parts - or the owner just liked that better.

So, the sure way of knowing is to contact Fender Consumer Relations (via the support pages) with the serial - they should have the original specs for it.

(My guess: legit AmDlx Ash Tele from 2005, electronics modded.)

The previous owner was apparently dissatisfied with the fancy S1 switch and removed it.
