Hi Everyone!

Is there a model number hidden somewhere on a Telecaster? A local shop has an American Telecaster on consignment for a little under $700 but they can't tell me the exact model number. The serial number shows it was made in 04 or 05 but the guitar is in near mint condition so I'm thinking 2005.

Is this a good deal? What worries me a little is since I'm not the original purchaser I won't have a warranty? Should I pay a little more and get one new with a warranty?

Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated.

Tim
