I recently purchased a Telecaster with a small 60th anniversary medallion on the back of the headstock.

serial number is Z6011432

Cannot find this anywhere.

Would anybody be able to help me find out if this is a legit tele?

Hey there! Fender has announced all telecasters made in the year 2011 will have the 60th anniversary neck plate. What you have is a legitimate brand new telecaster. They started making tele's in '51, so they are doing a special run of all the 2011's with that neck plate.

Actually, I think what he has is a 2006 Telecaster.

Jamanon are you referring to a small silver button that says Fender with "60" inside a diamond?

All 2006 Fenders had that button on the back of the headstock for the 60th anniversary of Fender as a company.

With the Z serial number sounds like a legitimate American Series Telecaster from 2006.

Both the Z6 serial number and the 60th Anniversary badge point to a 2006 model. My 2006 Telecaster Deluxe has the same thing:

The badge refers to the 60th anniversary of Fender (founded in 1946), not of the Telecaster (released in 1951). I think you're okay. 8)

you're okay. I also have a 2006 anniversary american Tele. All of these guitars (Std MIM and MIA anniversay) had the Medallion or the Zircona on the Headstock and the neckplate was engraved with 1946-2006. The Standard came in blizzard White and american was a 2 tone Sunburst.
