The serial number on this guitar comes back as a tele B-bender. "American Standard "B-Bender" Telecaster (1995-1998), Maple Fingerboard, Brown Sunburst."
MODEL #: 0108442732
CASE/GIB BAG: Standard Molded Case
But this particular guitar does not have B-bender hardware installed. It is not a "Nashville" B-bender! The American Standard B-Bender was Fenders first B-Bender Model out befoe the Nashville model which came out around 2000.
This may be a partscaster. I do not do not know. I was friends with the previous owner for over 50 years. We played together. I got it from his wife after he died.
It is is a beautiful guitar. My friend, one of the finest guitarist in Columbia MO, may have built so I am not selling it as a B-Bender. Caviat Emptor: buy it at your own risk. The price has been lowerd substantially, but the current price is based on the excellent condition of the guitar.
You can decide for yourself on what it is. If you want to add the hardware, I recommend the "Hipshot" kit that sells for around 300. It can be installed by anyone as no body modifications are required.
Product Specs From Fender that were returned with the serial number lookup. They seem pretty accurate, but may not becorrect for this guitar in some instance. I believe the neck specs are all correct.
