Who cares? It's got's humbuckers so it's contaminated.

That's not a Telecaster at all. It's a Fender Toronado. They're discontinued now, but you can find them on Ebay.

I believe that a Toronado has rounder edges and a pointier upper horn. Also, I think the knobs on a Toronado are angled and not vertical as in the picture.

I'm pretty sure it's a Toronado...

Hello Kipdurran,

Firstly welcome to the Forum.

I do not believe this to be a toronado.

Most interesting bridge and I'll wager the body
is made of mahogany, I'm confident it's a Telecaster.
What model????
This question has popped up before {I think}.
Others will educate us hopefully.

Cheers.

It's a Tele-sonic HH.
It's been debated before (http://www.fender.com/community/forums/ ... p?p=104959).
