Can someone help me find out if i'm buying the real thing, i was going to buy a left handed 62 custom tele MIJ but it's got no serial number by the made in japan on the back of the neck. When you take the neck off it has got TLC-62BL and 2.23.89 on the heel of the neck in pencil, can some one let me know.

That wasn't your question.

This was.

In any case, looks like you have a neck date and a model number (i.e. TLC-62BL) so why do you have doubts on that guitar? Is there something that doesn't look right? As you have noted, serial numbers don't mean much for MIJ teles.
