Sorry but I'm referring to the "fender" 60th telle... Not the recent 60th anniversary of the tele it self. Mine is around 2008.

Every Fender guitar had a 60th anniversary logo on it in 2006 (I'm assuming that's the year of it if it's a Fender 60th anniv.). So it could be one of any models of Teles that were out that year. You would need to narrow down to what the actual model of the guitar is before anyone could tell you what the radius is.

It is indeed a 2006 model.. It is a natural wood stain with a 60th logo inlayed at the bottom. I was told it was a re-issue of an early 50's?? It's got a vintage bridge and vintage tuners. I was also told there weren't many of them made. I haven't seen many of these out there.

Contact consumerrelations@fender.com with the serial number of your guitar and they will be able to give all the information pertaining to it.

Wonder what kind of neck profile it has?

What letter does the serial number start with?

If it's really a Vintage Reissue, it probably has a 7.25 radius. All American Vintage guitars including the '52 Tele and '62 Tele Custom have that 7.25" radius. The Mexican made reissues (the "Classic Series") will have the same radius.

Most modern Tele's have a 9.5" radius.

unfortunately there is no serial number I can find on it. I was told that the only number on these 60th anni teles is the number on the neck plate 307 of 1000 they were a limited run in 2006. I contacted fender and they haven't replied.
