i believe you can e-mail the serial numbers to someone at Fender and they will be able to tell you everything about them

Pictures will help enormously in identification of these Telecasters. With pics, and the serial numbers, I'm sure most can be pinpointed, but getting accurate values may be more difficult and most of those might only be "ball park!" If you want to get a value for the purpose of selling, it will be different to what it would be for the purpose of insuring them.

A good place for you to look might be www.gbase.com which is where dealers show many of their items for sale, and you might find same or similar models on there. That would give an idea of dealer prices, if you are prepared to look thorough lots of ads!

Another way is to get in touch with a reputable guitar store locally, one who does valuations, and take the guitars there. You would have to pay a little for the service, but you would have a written appraisal at the end of it.

Good luck.

I did a check on a website that deals with serial numbers (easy to find on Google) and got this.

1 This one came up as a late 50's guitar, but since you say there is a Certificate I would think it is either a Custom Shop guitar, or a vintage reissue. The Certificate should tell you in any case.
2 Made in Corona 97/98
3 Made in Japan 91/92
4 Made in Corona 94/95
5 Made in Corona 97/98
6 Made in Japan 91/92
7 Number not recognised
8 Made in Corona US Vintage reissue

Try emailing Fender customer services, send them pictures and numbers and they'll tell you where and when the guitars were made. As for value, if the first one really is a late 50's Tele then it's happy days for you and you should take it to a good trustworthy dealer, it'll be worth a lot of money! If not, c'est la vie, it's probably a custom shop guitar and still a valuable instrument.

With the others once you have all the information you need there are plenty of websites where people stick guitars up for sale, check them out to get an idea of what you have is going for.

The site I looked at was this one... http://www.guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx
but there are others around. It only gives info on serial numbers and dates, not values though.
