Hi guys, I'm trying to get some opinions on what type of Tele this is...I only have pictures but will have a serial number soon.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

They're great pictures!
Any chance of some that are actually in focus?

From what I can make out it could be an early '60s reissue of some sort with a replacement bridge.
Note that I said it could be, not that it is!

I updated the photos. For some reason the first time I uploaded them they got compressed and totally altered. Should be able to see everything you need to see.

No change in my opinion - the only way to get a proper idea as to what it is is to take it apart and show everything in forensic detail.

Hmmm...
The vintage Kluson-style tuners and access to the truss rod at the body end of the rosewood neck would validate Chris' call of a '60s RI with a replacement 6-saddle bridge, though the neck pickup adjustment screws are generally concealed beneath the pick guard on those models. Though it is possible that the owner replaced the screws (and/or) pickups and pick guard to allow for easier adjustment of the neck pup height, it would seem more likely that the owner preferred the smaller fret wire and 7.25" radius of a '60s neck and, as such, replaced the neck on a more current body. A puzzler...

It looks like a DeLuxe, but it's impossible to tell with the crappy pictures. The top picture looks like there's an S-1 switch on the bottom knob, but I don't know of any Teles that have both that wiring and also front routing. ICBW.
