Hi there. New here and I have an issue that needs help, if anyone has any ideas.

I have a Fender Telecaster (honey blonde is the nearest colour I can suggest) and I have never seen anything similar to it on any website, including fender. It has a different pickup set up than all the other tele's I have seen. It also has Wilkinson locking nuts on the string tighteners. It seems to be rather unique in comparison to any other Fender I have seen. It is USA made and it cost me over $1600 and that was about 12 years ago. It is still in really excellent condition and I am looking to sell it. It also has an original Fender case with the orange furry lining. What I want to know is how do I trace it's origins using the serial number? I have noticed that Fender.com does not have a contact section but the UK website does. Has anyone got any ideas how I can find out what my guitar is worth or where it came from?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your guitar was made at the Corona Plant (Fender),
USA in the Year(s): 1992 - 1993

As far as what it is worth, I would say priceless :roll: You should really hold on to it if you can....now is not a great time to sell used guitars!

Oh, wow, how did you find all that out? That is great information. What did you mean by priceless? You mean really, really, expensive or just not worth anything right now?! hehe
