Long live Dimebag Darrell!
btw, I'm pretty sure its a Broadcaster - I've never had the serial number traced, but it has a Bigsby tailpiece so I suspect it might be pre Tele... on the other hand, it also has two Humbucker pickups (instead of typical single coil pickups) - so it might just be a mutt put together by someone...
I bought it used about 25 years ago and it sounds way cool - deep tone (unlike standard Tele's) so I've kept it all these years (all the other electrics I've been through are gone)...

Here's Fender's serial number look-up page: http://www.fender.com/support/usa_instruments.php. It might be able to help you pin down the year yours was made.
My current pride-and-joy is my Eric Johnson signature Stratocaster. I slapped some DiMarzio Virtual Vintage pickups in it last year ('Area 61' in the bridge and 'Area 58' in the neck and middle positions), and I absolutely love it.
