In fact since I thought about selling it and had my mind changed by max and riddum, I'm gonna trade my old marshall valvestate in for a small combo which I can play in the house - annoy the hell out of my old lady!

It's definatly a 72 model. I had a similar experience to you stupid, I was a teenager and was saving up for an old standard Tele but at the time there were few around and way too much for me. The guy in the shop said his freind was selling a deluxe and it was worth me having a look. When I saw it I was amazed, it was in perfect condition, amazing natural wood and I loved the humbuckers with the old fender engraved on them. Plugged it in and wow, it had a hell of a kick and with the right settings I could make it sound like a Gibson or a telecaster. For years I played in bands with it and it always sounded much better than the guys with the Ibanez, Yamaha and all those other japanese models and even gave a few fenders and gibson's a run for their money. The neck is essentially the same as a strat so it's so easy to play.
