I am replying to bassman0260 to let you know that I have recently bought a used telecaster from my local Guitar Center that matches your description. Before I made the purchase I called Fender customer service to verify the serial number. The Rep (named Josh, a great guy) told me that the guitar was part of a factory special run of 100 instruments for the Northeast market. I asked if the run was exclusive to any particular retailer and he said the records did not indicate that. He was able to tell me that the guitar was a November 2003 FSR American Series Custom Telecaster with premium ash body in butterscotch blond (like a '52 Reissue) with Fender stainless steel bridge (6-saddle modern style with string holes under the saddles), Custom Shop No-caster pickups, 9.25" radius fingerboard and medium jumbo frets. It came with a G & G case in black Tolex with plush orange interior. All these specs matched the guitar perfectly. The decal on the peghead has a 50's style Fender logo followed by the words Custom Telecaster in small black letters. The guitar is in excellent condition with practically no fret wear or pick marks- a true closet classic. I had my local shop do a set up and everyone commented on how beautiful it is. A terrific sound as well! I referred to an issue of Frontline Magazine from Summer 2003 "(Frontline Extra-New for Summer 2003) and there was a picture and description of an "American Series Ash Telecaster" that is identical to my guitar except for the decal and the fingerboard radius .

I hope that you enjoy your find as much as I am enjoying mine! Now let's find the other 98 guys!
