If anyone can help me with this that would be great. I bought this guitar on e-bay a few years ago and I'm trying to get some info about it. I've only seen one other like it which belonged to a guy in cal. Supposedly it was a limited run of only 100 guitars made for the 2004 namm show. It has a ash nitro finished in a dark red with black p/g. The guy in Cal. said it was 52 body with brass saddled bridge and also came with an additional six saddle bridge. The neck is suppose to be 73 RI type. It is for sure ash with nitro finish however I can't find any serial# on it anywhere. I was told this is because it was a special limited run. It came in the orange lined tweed case. I really don't know much about tele's and any help or advice I can get would be appreciated much. Thank you

Posting some detailed photos would probably help get the guitar identified. The fact that there is no serial number sounds fishy to me. So put up some good photos, and hopefully somebody more knowledgeable than me will stop by.

So, this isn't about what 2204 year Tele might look like? :?

Please post some pictures of your guitar, Drake.
If your guitar is for real, it is probably a '52 Reissue Telecaster similar to this one:

2004 NAMM Spruce Top Chambered 1952 Reissue Telecaster
Transparent Cherry Burst Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish
Swamp Ssh Reissue with chambered body and book-matched spruce top
Maple / Rosewood Neck (similar to '62 roundback) 7.5" radius
No-load Fender "Delta Tone" tone control
Flat head 1952 style pickguard screws
Period correct Kluson style tuners
The serial number is stamped on to the bridge plate
Barden bridge and saddles (shown below, probably did not come with the guitar??) are an add-on
"Ash tray" bridge cover included
7 Pounds
G & G Tweed Case, Orange interior
Approximately 100 built

Here is a picture of a 2004 NAMM Spruce Top Chambered Cherry Burst 1952 Reissue Telecaster with a white pickguard, which is shown at this web page:

I would contact Fender for further information at Telephone: 480-596-9690.
The former guitar owner, who apparently bought and sold this guitar last year, listed his email address at the above link. You may want to contact him for further information that he may have.

It looks like these guitars exist, Tim.
The serial number is supposedly on the bridge plate.
