Hello, I am brand new to Fender Forums so hello! I have two Strats, and recently purchased a telecaster.....but am now concerned that its not legit! All of the telecasters I have looked at have ferrules on the back of the body, this one doesnt....the neck is a fender telecaster MIM '96 maple (its a really nice looking guitar) can anyone confirm if my concerns are accurate! Thanks in advance, Ruff-Life :P

No worries. Early Mexican models (like yours) were toploaders, where the strings load through the bridge, not the body.

Enjoy your Tele!

Yes, MIM Standard Telecasters were top-loaders until 1998.
