Hey guys, I'm looking to buy this Fender MIA Telecaster, however there are a few things I am unsure about. The seller gave me the serial number and it is Z9554521. However, on the headstock the word "Telecaster" is written differently than other similar models, and the bridge on this guitar is not the same as other standard teles.

Here is the link to the guitar: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/msg/3113206545.html
And here is another link of a standard tele to compare.

Also, what do you guys think is the lowest price this will sell for?

Appears to be an American Special, not an American Standard. They can be had new for $800.

Is it missing the truss rod plug?

I think it's just a bad photo; it looks like a lighter than usual plug is in place, but that could just be because it's a blurry photo that looks like a cellphone shot.

Do your homework...how long has the seller been trying to 'thin the herd' or selling it...I think you could get it for about $100 less if you offered cash...any chance of a barter?

Good luck!
