Hey everyone,

First post here.

I was just wondering if I could get some help with buying this telecaster off eBay.

It's my first telecaster and this one has really appealed to me.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 500wt_1182


Now, the serial code is MZ4012563 which means its a 2004 - 2005 model.

I just wanted to know if it is fake at all?

When buying my LP Custom I had to go through a forum to help me find out if it was fake or not and believe it or not, there were so many fake LP out there, its ridiculous.

Thanks heaps in advanced, hope I can get some assistance.
Anything, if anyone has this guitar, please feel free to share your experiences.
Daniel

Welcome to the forum...As long as you use Pay Pal your purchase is insured and it protects you from fraud. But the Tele is real nice and hopefully you have a pleasant transaction and the main thing is to enjoy the guitar.

Looks real to me, but I am no expert. Can't go wrong with that guitar though. I have a 2004 and I love it.

All details look correct for a MIM Standard Tele - except the case. Those don't come with a hard case, at least not in the USA, so if you're getting a hard case too, all the better!

Looks great to me,a good deal,I have an 06 MIM Tele and I love it.An olympic white Tele or Strat with a maple neck always was one of my fave combos.
