According to Fender's product dating page, the serial number is in the proper format and that it was made between 2011 and 2012. However, that doesn't tell us much. We would need to see some pictures of the guitar to determine if it is a fake or not.

The 60th anniversary tele is made in the USA. And the Tele-bration series which also celebrate the 60th anniversary are also made in the USA. As far as I know there are no 60th anniversary teles made in Mexico.

Also all USA made teles in 2011 had the 60th anniversary neck plate on them.

What you have there looks like a Mexican serial number for sure.

It could just be a MIM tele with a 60th anniversary neck plate.

Someone may be able to give you better info than myself. Also if you want a better identification on this forum it would be useful if you could post some photos so that we know what the guitar looks like.

You can also email the serial number to Fender Customer Support and ask for some details on the guitar, their email address is: consumerrelations@fender.com

Good luck.

Hi

To back up wahat sjlen said.

Alot of telecasters built in 2011 will have the 60th Anniversary neckplate to signify they were built in the 60th anniversary year.

I have a Mexican Standard in Midnight wine that has the 60th plate.

The official 60th Anniversary tele is the limited edition one in blackguard blonde. Then there are the 12 Tele-Bration tele's.

So your MIM Tele is fine if it has the 60th anniversary next plate.

Hope this helps

My 2011 Highway One tele has a 60th neckplate, but my 2011 American Special tele does not.

hey, i just bought my first ever tele after owning a standard strat in arcic white for a year which is nice cause my strat was starting to bore me. i got a MIM midnight wine with the 60th anniversary neckplate. i have to say midnight wine looks more purple than wine and i saw it online a hated it but i went in the store and midnight wine was not wine it was nice maroon kind of colour way more purple than red. it is the nicest guitar i ever played. i think 60 anniversary guitars with the neckplate were just ones built with more effort and quality. i also saw another guy has the same guitar as me he said earlier and well done to him for too choosing the nicest guitar ever made. cant be fake unless it looks or sounds it

I didn't know they were putting the 60th anniversary neck plate on Mexican models, well now I know. Thanks for putting me straight on that one guys.

Enjoy your new guitars, MIMs rule. :D
