Hello all fender tele users.

I saw someone selling a fender american deluxe telecaster.
He changed the pickups to some dimarzio bridge.
Claims year ~2010.
However, the headstock seems wrong.

Do you know if these headstocks were ever used on American Deluxe telecasters?
or is it definitely fake?

Hard to say with not close-up.

I have fender 2010 guitar catalog , you are right Fender decal are not same as 2010 American deluxe. Is it a 2010 , is it an American ? Need serial number . More photos .

Decal look more some on Higway one , or Classic series . I don't say it is not a Deluxe or a fake .
Look strange to me.
You photo show the neck with one more fret than original 2012 fender American Deluxe Tele neck and other American Tele .

American Deluxes do have 22 frets. The fret markers look like they could be abalone which some American Deluxes had but it is also missing a fret marker as well at the 21st fret. Also, the logo does appear to be inconsistent. It should be silvery, less wordy and more centrally located. Better pics will be required to make a definitive judgement as to what this is excactly but at first glance I would say it is not an American Deluxe.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

The Logo and model name is in the wrong place, as is the string tree.

I've had the same bass as yours. Mine sported an ash body finished in satin brown.
