I posted the following in the "Let's Talk Custom Shop" forum. Thought I might try it here to see if I can get more feedback - Thanks:

In 1989 (or so) I traded a Les Paul for an incredible sunburst Tele w/ a birdseye maple neck. The fellow I traded with worked at the Fender amp factory in Tualatin, OR (no longer there). He told me he picked up the guitar at the Custom Shop and that it was one of two made for Merle Haggard. Merle selected the other one. The back of the head stock has the number "2" stamped into the wood as the only serial #. It also has three Seymore Duncan Quarter Pounders in a Strat configuration with 3-way switch. Can anyone verify this story or help me ID this thing? :?

Thanks. That's what I'm doing now through Fender Customer Support. They are checking it out for me - I just have to get them some pictures. I'll let you know what they come up with. :)
