I saw this silver or platinum (not really sure colour) Fender Tele on craigslist but the seller did not really post much information about it.

Seeing how so many here are so knowledgeable i figured i would ask if someone can give me the lowdown on it?

Thx :)

Humm, i dont see a neck pickup either nor the famous tele pickguard. Is this just a strange looking strat?

That is a beautiful tele my friend, my first electric i ever got was a mim tele and then i traded it for a strat.

Is yours a semi hollow? i notice the lil F hole.

Also, the guy on CL never did say it was a Tele, he just said it was a "rare Fender" guitar.

whether it's real or not i dont know, ive just never seen it before.

Nice, there's a few squiers i like quite alot. The custom Tele 2 and the Jagmaster both look like great value for the price.

I tend to like Alternative music so teles, jagmasters are right up my alley. I picked up a sweet ibanez hollow on CL even tho i dont really know how to play jazz or rockabilly yet because the price was cheap.

I learned on Folk music like bob dylan, crosby stills nash, the beatles etc on acoustic but play some rock and alterna and even a few country songs by gary allan.

Mostly i played acoustic from 83-2006 when i got my first electric. id like to learn some other styles but id probably need some lessons. surprisingly, ive gotten some nice licks on youtube for free :lol:

I'm pretty sure that thats two different guitars, look at the upper horn on the two pictures on the left.
Plus the top left picture has a strat headstock whereas the others have tele headstocks.
I'd avoid it just because of how little info the guy is giving.

actually i think the top left picture is a Fender Showmaster. but like d3nyd94 said the 1 picture shows a strat type guitar and the other 3 pics show a tele like guitar. the guitar could possibly be real but, with the lack of information and suspiciouse pics i wouldn't go near it.

top left picture kinda looks like this guitar:

What i dont get is why he posted pictures of a Tele and a Strat? You are right he could have the strat one you posted but the tele like pictures are huge red flags.

i just wonder which guitar he has if any lol....

+1 to that. It is a celtic, although there is a celtic strat in those photos too, they are a cheaper model don't be fooled by the use of the term "Custom" as I'm pretty sure they are a Korean made guitar and sure aren't custom or rare.

They also had a scorpion model with, you guessed it, a scorpion inlay across the 11-13 frets.
