I looked at an "2007 American Vintage '62 Tele" today, serial # on the neck plate is V170401, which denotes an American Vintage, but Im still skeptical...

Reason is, all the hardware is Gold, pick guard is White Pearloid, neck is Maple, tuners are new style, not vintage style, and color is I think Aged Vintage White... and I cant seem to find this combo anywhere online that matches a AV '62 Tele...

Is this a real "one of a kind" Fender or did someone piece it together? Any input would be great.

Thanks!!!

Welcome to the forum...Mods may have been made to the guitar but you should run those serial numbers with Fender and that should tell you more about it.

Photos would be helpful also. Fender should be able to tell you what that serial number matches.

However, none of that sounds like an AV '62 Tele Custom - when you say the "neck is maple" do you mean the fingerboard?

JPD, I called in the SN and Fender says it's a AV Strat... I'm gonna double check that I wrote it down correctly, though.

John, It's a maple neck and maple finger board.

How do I insert pics?

Thanks

You have to have the photos up on a hosting site like photobucket or something like that.

Then you either use the "Img" tag button from the top line of "post a reply" window or use the pre-tagged link from phototbucket.

Just so you know - the AV '62 Tele is actually a "Custom Telecaster" - it has binding around the front and back sides of the body. It also only comes with a rosewood fingerboard. While they have come in other colors (like Ice Blue and Ocean Turquoise) they now only come in sunburst, black and surf green.

I'm thinking its a parts Tele that just happened to have the neck plate from an AV guitar (evidently a Strat since that's the info you got from Fender).
