I've come across a nice looking American Standard Telecaster on eBay UK, but don't know if it's legit. It's got a 2011 serial number and 60th Anniversary back plate, but the body is Candy Apple Red. I don't think this colour was an option that year. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The American Standard Tele came in Candy Cola in 2011 and would have had the commemorative 60th anniversary neckplate.
Color is a kinda subjective thing in photos.
Otherwise the guitar looks legit to me.
Here is a link to the 2011 Fender Frontline, P46.

The actual anniversary guitar was a black guard w/ blonde finnish.

Just noticed the bridge. Why do Fender do this? If you wanted to retrofit a traditional style bridge (the proper Telecaster one that should be on all Telecasters) I think you would have issues.

No saying that the OP would, it was just an observation.
