Hi all -

I traded a stock MIM telecaster for a MIK HH telecaster yesterday. I don't have pictures of the MIK at the moment, but I will try and get some.

The guitar is beautiful .. All black with cream binding, and the super thin body. I was shocked it was even up for trade, but the owner really wanted a stock tele as he is more into a country sound and the MIK has DiMarzio PUPs and has a more hard rock/metal feel to it.

My only concern is the serial number is odd to me - It starts with '050' and contains 8 characters total. I don't think I have seen this numbering convention before, although I believe the MIKs have had a variety of odd serial numbers applied. If the guitar is a forgery, it's really well done and sounds top notch to me - but I highly doubt it's a forgery as the effort to manufacture it that well would probably be as much or more than the retail price of the guitar.

My question is whether anyone has seen that numbering convention before ?

Thanks for the help

I checked several other posts on this site and found some similar serial numbers ... so I think I am in good shape.

I would like some feedback from anyone else that may have this model though ... Awesome guitar, not really much like a traditional telecaster, but very cool none the less. Also, I thought Fender stopped manufacturing guitars in Korea along time ago, but based on the serial number it looks like this was made in 2005 ??
