Hi. My first post ever, on any forum, so please be gentle.
I have heard so much about fake telecasters, that I wanted to get the gurus to have a quick look at a guitar to see if there are any warning signs before i get out my cash.
I think the neck looks good, and the serial number looks up with 2005 american standard, but I just wanted a second opinion.

Would love some advice, and thanks in advance,
Mark :mrgreen:

Look original Fender American series as show in 2005 Fender Frontline page 61

It is the American Tele HH with S1 switching system.

Bridge pickup is not original as seller write ; "Stock in neck and bareknuckle blackhawks in bridge position."

Color; I don't know , pictures are poor.

The serial checks out legit on the registration page database.
And thus, the only color on the 2005 menu that seems to fit the pics is 743 Pewter. Even though some pics show green, some gray, some whatever. :wink:

The Consumer Relations dpt. might be able to dig out the original build specs for that serial, so contact them via the support pages.
