Hello everybody!

I bought a second hand Telecaster, American Classic Custom Shop, in purple sparkle color... The COA is from june 1995.

I can't find information about this guitar... Could someone help me?

I think it's a limited model of 1995-1996, but not sure at all... All i know is that it's a quite rare color for a Tele, with 3 pickups and inverted controls...

Serial is CN402086.

Thanks a lot! :)

Here are 2 pictures:

I've never seen anything like it before, but I like! That's a wicked guitar, my friend. Have you tried dating the serial number? Go here (http://www.fender.com/support/product_dating.php) and take a look....

Hi! :)

Thanks for your message!

Yes, i went there...

CN(XXXXXX)
VN(XXXXXX) Korean-made Fender/Squier guitars (dating unclear)

But this is a Custom Shop, i found some other web sites talking about this CNXXXXXX serial also used for CS on Strat and Tele.

"A CS Serial Number starting w/ CN is 100% viable. C for Custom & N for Ninety. The next position would be a number & complete the year.

For example: CNOXXXX is 1990."

(From Dany Nader on FDP Forum).

The CS switched to the CN plates around '94.

My serial is CN402086... Custom "Ninety - 4", february, number 086.

Mine was made in 1994 but sold in 1995, june... as written on the COA...
