Fender Telecaster RI52 2007

Hi, i just got a used Fender Tele AVRI 52.

I bought this guitar on ebay, but the seller didnt send me ash tray cover, the other circuit and the certificate of authenticity.

Can any of you help me to check the guitar and see what is the circuit installed (modern or vintage)? Thank.

I send some pics of the guitar:

Everything looks correct to me, and it is wired with the Vintage circuit (Not Modern)...a 2007 did not come with a COA...so that part is OK....just retain the .047 Capacitor...and remove the others, and use the Modern diagram if you wish to change the wiring...Bet that's a Nice Guitar !

Nice guitar!

One of the easiest ways to confirm Vintage or Modern wiring scheme, is to plug the guitar in and almost to playing volume. Switch the guitar to the middle spot on the blade selector, and tap on the bridge pup pole pieces with a small metal object. If you get that "pop" then you know it is not a vintage setup, but probably a modern one.

Definitely vintage with the cap to switch.
