Okay, now that I have your attention, I have in my hands, an unidentified guitar that looks like a Tele... from head to toe, these are the distinctions... The 1st string tuner has been replaced with a new Kluson-style, but the others have the Patent Pending under them... The Gold Spaghetti-style logo was scratched off for some reason.... The bridgeplate has FENDER stamped on it, but no markings otherwise, including the underside...
Once I removed the neck the following was written on the neck cavity in pencil and covered with some red transparent stuff, kinda like an old wax seal... "8-5-52", "Davis", "#3", "CD".... The back of the neck has illegible writing in red, as though it were initials in cursive...
The electronics were REALLY old carboard covered caps and resistors... The volume pot was shot, so I replaced it with a CTS Pot, and still have the original...
Any info you can provide will be greaty appreciated
Thanks,
Allen
