I recently bought this mint 1994 made in Mexico Tele. Plays really nice and the $ was under $200.00. So, I grabbed it. Vintage white (cream) See-through swamp ash, humbucker, and a five way switch, double stack tone control (TBX)?? Everything under the hood looks to be 100% original.,.....neck pocket looks clean, and the neck plays like a dream. So.....My QUESTION; its not a deluxe (normal pickgaurd) so, what is it? Thanx! I know there's some expert fender benders out there that know.[/img][/img]

It is an old mid-90s model called a Tele Special. If I'm remembering correctly from the Strat side, these were the predecessors of the current MIM Deluxe series , had the upgraded hardware like the TBX, translucent finishes and tinted necks. The Strat model was HSS and also had the TBX master tone control and a mini toggle coil splitter where the bottom tone control normally is; the Tele had the 5-way switch that functions as a coil splitter for the humbucker so you didn't need the extra switch on it.

These were only made for about 2 years; the run was either 1993/94 or 1994/95. Nice guitars with nice features; not a lot of info out there on them.
