This is one nice Tele ! I like this style pickguard rather than the black top's. I may have to pull the trigger after Uncle Sam sends me a check. Why isn't this listed on Fender's product lines ?

This is an FSR (which stands for either "Fender Special Run" or "Factory Special Run" - sorry, I forget which is accurate); these are typically limited runs of anywhere from 50 to 500 pieces that are done as "one-off" guitars. FSRs are never listed on the Fender website.

At any rate this FSR was the MIM Tele Deluxe but with a regular Tele-shaped headstock, modern truss rod adjuster, modern tuners, the white pickguard, and was available in the candy apple red and in a metallic surf green.

I see this is at a Fender dealer; I was under the impression that this guitar was done as a Guitar Center/Musician's Friend exclusive. It could be that Fender wound up making a larger run and selling them to other dealers, or this dealer could have gotten it in a trade from a Guitar Center since they are selling it as "new in the box".

I have the classic player 72 tele deluxe-pretty much the same as that i think. Its great-look up reviews on internet and musicradar.com. I love it, its great for everything so far as I can tell.
