Thanks brokentoes. I see now where my confusion was, I was seeing the pics Len posted and assumed they were the pics for the OP.

Yep that's this guitar (5420).

What a trip! I need to weigh it. It's light so definitely thinking alder. And the finish looks like nitro, or a very thin poly.
 
Congrats Sigmania, nice looking Tele

I completely agree on the serial #. It's legit.
I have 7 mid year Tele serial numbers listed,
too many to be the result of plate swaps.

So I just got around to taking it apart. The neck is stamped TE80 and the neck pocket is stamped TE80 in red ink.



The codes match on the body and neck. 12=7GSA & 12=7A.





The bridge pickup is says TE A in white ink.

 
Looked like there were two grains of rice in the bridge cavity. No way I was gonna remove them and risk losing the mojo. LOL
