ACCESSORIES & INFO

CASE: Standard Molded Case

INFO:

400 Units made in total with both neck configurations and are based on the American Standard model. But many was returned to Fender for finish-issues or dents in the body. Customers were never issued a new one because a) the mold was discarded. or b) Fender custom ordered these and did not order new for exchange, so all returns was refunded under warranty.

Because of this, there is less than 400 in circulation of these today.

These models was built and assembled at Fender, Scottsdale, Arizona HQ
