I was thinking of purchasing a guitar from an unknown seller and I was wondering if there were any key ways to tell if the fender guitar is fake or not.
Answer Resolved: Thanks!

Welcome.

It is definitely legit. Note that it is a Mexican Fender reissue of a 1972 Telecaster Deluxe which back in 1972, was only made in America.

As to how to tell, one would have to have been around your model and all Fenders for many years. I know this sounds like a 'politician's answer' but from a history of being exposed to Fender guitars, an experienced eye can immediately pick off a phony by way of hardware, dimensions, logo, etc, etc.
