Hi there guys,

I'm new and was wondering about my '78 tele. It all seems nice and original but the pickups seem to date from '81, at least according to the guy i got it from. Does anyone know what pot/pick up codes i could use to find out when the guts of my guitar are from? Any good websites. Someone also suggested that Fender were still using old stock and that my tele could have been made in '81 but with parts left over from '78...........I'm confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Thanks , ollie

Have you unscrewed your neck from the body?
You can find stamps and maybe other info regarding dates there.
You're right about Fender using old stock, so you can have different
dates on the neck, body and pickups.
