I'm about to pull the trigger on this tele. But there's something that kinds of bug me on his description. The seller claimed that this is a fender special release that is made in america. However, the only FSR i found out are the mexicans. The weird thing is the neck has a legimate american tele serial number. I'm not sure if the seller has swapped out the neck for an american neck and posed it as a american. Serial number is Z7027006. here's a picture of it.

There may be routing under the pickgaurd for the DeArmond pickup. Or not; the pickup is very thin. I can also see the body color between the rythym pickup and the black pickgaurd, so it doesn't look like a pro did the work. E-A and D-G saddles look like aftermarket compensated saddles, unless the factory did that. They are a good upgrade anyway. And the B-E saddle looks to be way sharp (too far out of line).
