I recently purchased a 1993 Japanese mini Tele from Gruhn Guitars in Nashville, TN. The guitar was previously owned by Danny Gatton and was offered for sale by his daughter Holly (including a letter from her certifying it was his). It has many of Danny's trademark mods (Joe Barden's, bent selector switch, heavily knurled knobs).

My question is this: Gruhn Guitars informed me that Fender Japan only made 3 of these Tele's. There is no serial number on the neck. Does anyone know if this is accurate? How would I go about validating this without a s/n? Thanks in advance for all replies.[/img]

I would tend to believe Gruhn....but you could contact Fender Customer Service and see what they have to say about it.

I love Gruhn. Unfortunately, I never tend to be in Nashville when they're open, so I'm stuck going to Nashville Used Music or one of the chain stores.

Gruhn generally knows what they're talking about, so as was said before, that's probably REALLY reliable information you got from them.
