Hiya!

I found a really nice 68 tele that's had a few bits and pieces changed (pups and one pot, sunburst refin) and I'd like to know if there's any way I can tell if the body's original.

Neck is dated 68, bridge is original, refin is pretty nice but.... is the body original?

Here's a link to the pics:

(rest of the pics are in that album).

anyone can shed any light? :D

The neck pocket looks to be long to me.

I have no experience of teles from that time though. It could just be the paint stripe on the face of the pocket throwing my eye off. Could do with a flatter photo of the guitar body face on and one of the pickup/control routes.

the paint strip appears to be done copying the old Fender teles of the time (I've seen a few with the same stripe)

you can see more pics of the cavities and control pocket in the link :D

see if anyone can shed any light... price is nice but I'd like to know if the body is original.... if it's not... the price is way over the top for a fender 68 neck and a no-name body...
