I have been offered a Telecaster to buy but would like some info on it before I go ahead.
I have been trawling the net but now my head is spinning with info.
The guitar has a B bender fitted which definately looks home made to me but works well and is a good job.

I was told by the seller that it was a 1971 model but on dismantling it I have found the following:

On the bottom of the neck is stamped "7 May 1962 C"

There is no serial number on the guitar apart from some numbers on the bridge plate. "DES 164227" and 2,573,254

The screw holes where the neck is screwed to the body are a second lot as the originals are slightly out. This would suggest the neck is from another Telecaster.

The pots etc have been resoldered in the past but still appear to be quite old.

The body has white binding and is finished in see through sunburst over what looks like maple. I have no way of telling if the body is Fender but it is an old, well made body.

I have photos of the guitar in pieces. Can I post them here?
If not I can send them to an email address if someone provides one.

Any help greatly appreciated.

your best bet would be taking it to a specialist
