Hi, I've been thinking of selling my American telecaster. I'm not sure what model it is though. I'm fairly certain it is not a regular American Tele. There was a round sticker on the body when I received it new, and you can see some of the sticker residue in the photos near the pick guard.

I really appreciate any expert help on this. Thanks! :)

In 2011 (based on the serial#) there were some FSR & Anniversary models, but your guitar seems to belong to the American Special series. It's a little downgraded version of the AmStandard, sold then for 200$ less. Both are perfect, IMHO.

Thanks a ton. I like the guitar for sure, I just never "bonded" with it, always reaching for something else, and I'm culling my guitar collection to make way for one or two new babies. It's basically a brand new guitar and has barely lived. Hope it finds a happy home. I appreciate your expertise.

Based on the color, neck plate and headstock logo, I'd say it is a Hwy1 Tele.

Chromeface is 100% correct. American Special.
