Is this really a MIM Tele? Saw it on ebay and he has a few negative's saying they are fakes.

RichardL · April 26th, 2007, 02:28 AM

Well, that black nut and tiny logo don't look very Fender-ish to me.

Freewheeler · April 26th, 2007, 03:16 AM

It's a cheap Tele copy on which somebody put a fake Fender logo. Why would anybody make a Made in Mexico fake?

Maybe for the same reason why someone would counterfeit bogus $5 bills instead of $50's....less likely to draw attention.

Dr Gonzo · April 26th, 2007, 10:17 AM

not a fender.

mellecaster · April 26th, 2007, 10:21 AM

Truss rod recess Screams....Squire Affinity (China)

zooropamofo · April 26th, 2007, 10:37 AM

Complete fake, poor logo/decal job, body looks like a Squier Affinity, if even that.

neocaster · April 26th, 2007, 10:40 AM

Sure looks like an affinity Squier tele to me. That body's 1.5" if it's a millimeter.

stratomaster · April 26th, 2007, 10:46 AM

I agree with all the above, its an affinity with a fake logo.

SixString821 · April 26th, 2007, 01:00 PM

its not even a good fake... piss poor.

Stuco · April 26th, 2007, 01:05 PM

HAHAHAHAHA. seriously, a mim fake?

jwells393 · April 26th, 2007, 01:22 PM

I believe RichardL has nailed it. All signs ....... nut, adjustment hole, string tree, tuners and color point to a Squier Affinity.
