Members knotty Posted February 6, 2011 Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 Sorry. No more photos or details. Age, model, country of manufacture. Any info appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wyatt Posted February 6, 2011 Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 Partscaster. Label doesn't look correctly placed. The builder probably had a neck plate made with his birthdate as the serial. there are a few people who'll do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GilmourD Posted February 6, 2011 Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 Headstock shape looks wrong and where the upper bout of the body meets the neck looks wrong. I'm thinking that's not a real Fender. You can buy those neck plates, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knotty Posted February 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 Is that not a 60's headstock then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meowy Posted February 6, 2011 Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 The "TELECASTER" name on the headstock looks awfully close to the edge of the wood. I might think it was modified, or it is an aftermarket waterslide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fiveoclockhero Posted February 6, 2011 Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 Are you asking because you're going to buy it? If they can't produce a real, traceable serial number, red flags should go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Special J Posted February 6, 2011 Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 Here's the headstock on my '69 Tele for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knotty Posted February 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 I found it for auction in an upcoming general sale, 200 miles away so cant examine it. Sounds like a wrong un thou. Thanks all for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GilmourD Posted February 6, 2011 Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 Is that not a 60's headstock then? Not even close... Two string trees? No. Shape? Wrong. Logo placement? Horrendous. Oh, and Fender's never used Kluson-style tuners that don't have the Safe-T-Post style posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members akapuli Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 The neck is not even Fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted February 8, 2011 Moderators Share Posted February 8, 2011 Partscaster.Label doesn't look correctly placed. The label position and style is correct for ~1963, but not two string trees, and the headstock shape itself isn't right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mel Cooley Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 Headstock shape is wrong, pre-CBS style logo decal is fake looking and in the wrong place, pre-CBS style Tele should not have two string trees, reissue pre-CBS Tele should not have an F neck plate.
