Today I got my new Fender telecaster from 1969. The tele plays very well! A great sound. The green stamp is not readable anymore but I really think it must be a 69 because it had 1 stringwire, from 72 and further on the teles will have 2 stringwires. The 17th fret comes near out to the begin of the body, that seems a 69. The tele has a skunk stripe, thats only from 69 and further on. The body is a 69, 70, 71 or 72. Not a 73 or further because the shape was not in the same way (were the body comes to the neck, the opening. The pickguard looks very original. The number of the pots are ok.
Now we have the serialnumber 283xxx. Thats a 69.

It is a player because it is rewired, refretted and refinished. It has a great sound. Beautifull!!!

Congrats on a great guitar. Your Tele is the best of both worlds....vintage guitar with updated electronics.

My wife and her family is in the Netherlands this week visiting relatives. If you see some strange looking Dutch-speaking Canadians walking around, say 'Hi'.
