Hi everyone, it's my first post here, I hope that you could help me with this Tele I recently bought. In the headstock it has a silver Fender logo and a silver serial number starting E10+ 5 digits E1049***. It has a full maple neck with a skunk stripe.

I opened the neck plate and found a yellow sticker that has a text A LOT; TS-354 hand written; number 7 followed with a Japanese sign for a month (月). It is a nice instrument for the price I paid for it (300€=around 340 USD). Strings don't go thru the body. I will include some photos. I'd like to know what would made this instrument even better, e.g. some kind of 1980s sounding American standard Tele pickups (not too loud but silent). What are the pups installed now (I only have a photo of neck one). What would be the most obvious / budget options to make this guitar better? For example, there's these kind of small potentiometers and YM-30 selector switch. I use 12 strings tuned to Eb / D sometimes. I'd be very grateful to know if this is e.g. a Japanese (neck) - partly American(?) parts Tele maybe?, the site of manufacturing, the year it was made etc. And, what's the real price for this guitar, I'm sure I paid ok, it's a nice play :)

Thanks in advance!
