Is the serial number a decal on the headstock? If so, then the first two digits ("76")should stand for 1976. From what I've read that was a short-lived serial number format for Fender and was the transition from having the number stamped on the neck plate to having a decal on the headstock. There were 3 serial number formats in 1976:

early year - still stamped into the neck plate
few months mid-year - the "76" headstock decals
maybe 2nd half of the year - the "S6" headstock decals

How about some photos - there were 4 different Tele models in 1976; we would love to see some photos of yours.
