MIK Fender Telecaster....info?

Post by ovid9 »

Hey guys. A dude near me is selling this. I don't know anything about MIK Teles. In fact, I can't really seem to find anything out about it. I'm failing at the serial # game. :(

Anyone able to help me out? :D

Nobody? :(

There isn't much that I've seen online either, not even on the tele forum which is usually an amazing resource.

I guess I should email the dude for a bit more info.

Ahhh, an older model of those that was still made in Korea. Ok, that makes sense.

Thanks man, now at least I have something to gauge it against. :thu:

That one I linked is MIK also,I think they are discontinued now but he has 3 I see all under $400. Almost bit on one but opted for a new Ibanez. Notice the guy in the on Craigslist said they are upgraded pups,they actually come with them.

Well, the one in the ad says Made in Indonesia, so IDK.

I was wondering about the "upgraded SD pups." Maybe he means "upgraded" over standard no name pups? IDK. Strange.

Thanks man. I really want to snag the guitar, but I don't need another guitar and I shouldn't spend the money. I just really really want too. :lol:

Shit I did notice that but when I was looking up info for them I found they were made in MIK so I guess they moved.
