So I just picked up a used 2012 Fender Telecaster Limited Edition from a private seller. The Serial number format on the neck has given me pause. It is formatted (not actual numbers) "US12 185998". Every other serial number I see is formatted as US12185998. No spaces. Did I get ripped off?

Thanks,
Mike

Spacing variance happens all the time. The serial number decals are 2 pieces - the "prefix" (i.e. "US12", "US13", etc.) and the other 6 digits. Sometimes there is more space between the 2 pieces than other times.

Thank you for your feedback folks. I was fairly worried about it. But there doesn't seem to be any telltale signs of a knockoff other than this small oddity, and I couldn't find much information on this particular one elsewhere on the web. That makes me happy, I got a great deal on this guitar then. :) love when that happens.

You could see some serial number at your guitars store.
