Bought a used AVRI, have some questions

[Steve Jeffries]

Hello friends. Had my eye on an AVRI Tele for a bit, and today traded for it. It was presented to me as a 2011, but I’ve got some concerns that I was hoping you guys/gals could help me out with.
The bridge plate has a serial number of 30146, which dates it as a 2011 AVRI. Neck needs a shim, so I took it apart. The dates inside have it as a 2000. Can you help a brother out and take a look at the attached pics and let me know what you think Ive got?

Well, main question is, how does it sound to you?

Looks like someone put a 2011 bridge on a 2000 52 tele

I don't get why there's extra holes in the neck pocket.

How did you look the serial up? Or did you take the sellers word for it being a 2011?

I think the extra holes are for hanging during finish

Ha, hey it happens. At least there's no weirdness, congrats on your all original 2000 AVRI!

83 Strat AVRI's have the same extra holes

I haven't had the neck off of my AVRI 52 hotrod tele in years.... I'll take your word for it
