Looks like a Fender American standard telecaster. Yes, it has a maple fretboard.
They are offered with maple or rosewood fretboards.

Don't forget that for a while there in the mid-2000s there was the regular American Series Tele with the modern C shaped neck and an "American Ash Tele" that only came with the maple fingerboard that had a U-shaped neck; the American Ash Tele was known as model #8502. Since this one has a black pickguard and a blonde finish it could be one of the American Ash Teles.

I'm not sure the exact dates that model ran; they only ran for a few years but it might be worth checking with Fender to see if this is a regular American Series Tele or the model #8502 American Ash Tele.

If you email the serial numbe to consumerrelations@fender.com and ask nicely they should be able to provide you with some information about the guitar.

Looking at the S/N I'd say '04 American Series Tele. The current American Std. replaced it.
