Hello guys.
I bought a guitar. It sounds awesome. Previous owner told me it`s MiM Telecaster after neck refubrishing. He told everything is original in that guitar except a fake USA decal. I`m not sure about it. I plan to remove that decal and make my own logo on the headstock but still I have no idea about my guitars origin.
Can anyone tell me if its a real mexican made tele? Thanks a lot, and forgive my english.

The neck looks real. The body has me concerned. The routs look a bit weird. Especially the bridge pickup route. It should be a bit bigger. The pickups themselves look fake based on the shape, but I'm no expert. I've just seen a fair share of guitars for my age.

My biggest issue with the body is it is not string thru. mim standards are all string thru the body. the bridge only has mounting 3 screws not 4. look at mim pickups on ebay fender pickups do have numbers on the back like the pic of the neck pu shows but I don't have one to compare #s. I think you have a partscaster of Fender and non-Fender parts
