I just bought a used MIM Telecaster with the 60 diamond stamp on the back of the headstock. Does anyone know any info about it like what pickups it has?
Serial number is MZ6221908

It sounds like a 60th anniversary model. Is it Blizzard Pearl (gray)?

Here are the pics.
It's a 60th Anniversery but I am not sure about what pickups they came with. Is there anything special about it being a 60th Anniversary model or does it just have the decal and that's it?

Fender put a little 60th Anniversary badge on the back of the headstock of just about every guitar and bass they made in 2006.

They did the same with 50th Anniversary badges on the 1996 models.

There were a couple of exceptions - a Tele similar to a '52 Reissue that had a big 60th Anniversary logo inlaid into the wood of the body, and the Blizzard Pearl 60th Anniv. Tele that Miami Mike mentioned above.

Your guitar is a 2006 MIM Standard Telecaster. That's not a bad thing at all, but your guitar isn't rare or unusual - it just has the badge like all the other 2006 models.

Thanks George for clarifying that.
So did the 2006 models have the same pickups as the current MIM tele's
2 Hot Standard Tele® Single-Coil Pickups (Neck & Bridge) ?

I believe so.

I'm fairly sure 2006 was the first year of hotter pickups for the MIM Standards and I think they also went to larger frets that year, compared to previous MIM Standard Teles.

Info is right. 2006 and later have the "Hot Ceramic" pickups.
