Found this MIM Offset tele at the shop yesterday and trying to get a little more info. I’ll link to photos. Serial number MX10174029.

I’ve seen American and Japanese offset teles, but never a Mexican. Serial number on Fender website lists “FSR TELE DELUXE MN CANDY APPLE RED” with no picture. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I'd trust the serial number database that the neck is from that FSR guitar, although the string guide isn't original.

For the rest of the guitar, you need to check further - that one full frontal pic isn't enough for a reliable ID. The neck pocket stamps should tell if the body is from a MIA or some aftermarket company.

I agree. It is a Partscaster of one type or another.

It has a nice neck but anything/everything else is a complete guess and could be anything. You could dismantle it to establish the quality of the other components if you like the guitar, but which ever way you look at it, it isn't a MiM Offset Tele. It may have all the parts of the original guitar and a different body or it could be a bag of nails with a nice neck.

Unless very cheap I would tread lightly, then turn around and walk out without that guitar.
