I know pictures would speed up this process 120%, however the shop wouldnt let me. Its a mom and pop shop, and the guitar tech is off this week, so I couldnt get details. Anyways, off to the specs:

American-Made
S-1 Switching
Black body / no binding
Black pickguard with white trim
Maple board
Chrome hardware
Neck humbucker - black
Single coil bridge pickup (S-1)

What the kicker was is the $899 price tag for a new instrument.

Thanks

Nah... close though. Regular style (I guess thats the term) pickguard, and a 3-way toggle / volume / tone layout. Also the neck pickup was unplated.

Here is a 30-second mockup. Note that the headstock said Fender Telecaster, and on the back it had the serial and underneath "Made in USA"

Just copy down the serial number and look it up on tdpri. That should be a pretty easy way to figure it out.

Well after some research, I found out it was an 2004 / 2005 short run of American Deluxe HS Telecasters.

Thanks guys! :D
