Hi I'm new to this forum, and I'm looking my first Telecaster, and I came across this ad for the exact colorway I want. The only thing is that I don't know too much about Fenders and I don't want to get scammed. I've looked online for ways to tell a fake but the info I find is mainly for strats, I don't know if it works for telecasters too. But I thought I'd give it a shot and ask you guys for your opinions. I'm supposed to meet up with the guy this weekend any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks!!

heres the ad with a few pics:

It looks like a legit MIM Tele to me. Offer him $300 and settle somewhere in between. :wink:

Check the fret wear and if it has any dead notes up the fretboard!

Good luck!

Looks legit to me as well. One piece of advice, seeing as the seller claims it's been in storage, would be to look down each edge of the fret board, and make sure there's no major curvature in the neck.
