I@m planning to buy a vintage-look and old Telecaster but I cannot define it from its pictures.

Its serial number is 32XXXX on the neck plate. It has 2 wide range pickups but its head stock is normal tele-type headstock.

I am sending to you 2 pictures of this guitar to understand... Please help me... What Tele is that???

Well its obviously some variation of Telecaster deluxe. Past that i have no clue. Looks amazing though. I was thinking of building a butterscotch tele deluxe at some point. Hopefully someone else has a little more information on it than i do

It looks to be a Deluxe of some sort. The logo is not original nor is the string tree. The truss rod plate is odd as well. Perhaps it is an after-market neck?...

That's the most non-correct Tele neck I've seen in a long time... wrong decal (one of the worst ever), truss rod cover (Teles don't have them, especially not a big honkin' ugly metal one), tuners look wrong... I think the control knobs are wrong, too.

There's no reason to believe that any part of this guitar was made by Fender.

Clearly, that is NOT a Fender Telecaster. :roll:

The neck looks like it may actually be an Ibanez Tele neck - they had the large truss rod cover.

And why did they do that phony "relic" job around the 12th fret? Everybody knows that the first four frets go first....

Seriously, man... run, don't walk, away from this thing.

I'm thinking its a Squier Custom II Tele that has been refinished. The logo on the headstock looks fake, and the Truss rod cover on the headstock is the hugest one I have seen on any guitar, and especially a Tele....
