Hello everyone
I need help with the specs of my american deluxe telecaster, serial number DZ 5156776. I know that it is 2005 but i don't know nothing about the mics, body, neck scale and other specs.
Thanks!

Sometimes Fender employees pick up these requests and post info on the forum but your best bet to get the detailed spec sheet would be to email the serial number to Fender's Consumer Relations team (consumerrelations@fender.com). They will send you a detailed spec sheet.

Briefly if your Tele's serial number starts with a "DZ5" then it is roughly a 2005 model (in the 2000s it seems like Fender was changing over the serial number prefix decals in January/February so it could also be from early 2006). In this case the year doesn't really matter because it is firmly in the 2nd generation of American Deluxes that ran from 2004-2009. It will have SCN pickups and it will have the S-1 switching on it - on the Tele the S-1 just changes the middle position of the switch (both pickups on) from parallel to series wiring. The neck scale is 25.5" inches, the radius is 9.5" (this predates the current compound radius) and it should have abalone dots on both maple and rosewood fingerboards.

What we don't know since you didn't post photos is if you have the "regular" model with an alder body, tummy cut in the back and top binding or if you have the Ash model that does not have the cut or binding (or the beveled neck heel for that matter).
