I am looking at this Tele for sale in my area, but the details and pictures don't tell me much, except the serial number decal looks wonky to me... is this serial number well matched to what this guitar appears to be in the photos?
By the number this should be a 2008 Deluxe. I'm having a hard time finding visual evidence of this version of a deluxe. No binding, natural finish (alder?) body, non locking tuners.
Any experts out there that can save me a drive to go look in person? Thanks!

Thanks everyone. Now that I see the problems you've mentioned, along with my original unease, I'm quite sure this is not something I'm interested in. Glad I had a gut feeling about it, and very glad and thankful for all your help.
