I can't help, but agree. The pictures really don't show that much. He needs to take the neck off to see the date on the bottom. Something just doesn't look right here and the fact that this guy's a new seller doesn't help either

yeah somethin' smells fishy here but you never know...something like that is a bit scary/risky to buy on ebay IMO.

I sent him a messega asking for the serial number. I doub't he'll reply.

I can get a modified '55 Tele (stripped paint, changed out '60's electronics) for $3700 from a guy in Kentucky-- great player!

The neck wear looks just like what you would find on the relic series.

quot;Esquires, Broadcasters, Telecasters 1950 to 1954 (number on bridgeplate). This system of serial numbers is unique to these three models until about the early summer of 1954 (when Fender switched to a universal neck plate serial number system for all models): Telecaster, Numbers On Bridge Plate 0001 to 0999 = 1950 to 1952 1000 to 5300 = 1952 to 1954quot;

Actually, someone should ask him where the serial number is located-- if he says the neck plate, he's full of it.

Done and done .

Hahaha yeah i got much too busy playing guitar...about five years ago!

Could just be that the guy is inexperienced with regard to what serious vintage buyers expect from an ebay listing.

Got a response:

quot;You asked:
quot;Where on the guitar did you read the serial number at?quot;

under the snap off cover on the main body. It reads, quot;Fender Pat. Pend. 3618quot;quot;
