This is a 2021 model that I purchased in 2024. The original neck was defective, so it was replaced with a neck from the same model, but from 2023. The only flaws are surface level scratches on the back and bottom side of the guitar and a small ding on the top forearm contour. The neck is in perfect shape. The frets are all in good shape, and the yellow on the sides of the frets is the lacquer from where Fender sprayed the neck. It does not affect the feel or playabilit. All of the electronics are original and unmodified. All of the hardware is original. The back of the neck is smooth and the action is 5/16” at the 12th fret. The neck is straight with slight relief and the truss rod works very well. The truss rod still has a lot of room to move either way. The guitar plays and sounds fantastic. The finish is “Aged Candy Apple Red“ but looks more like a slightly faded “Candy Tangerine”.

Since purchasing in 2024, it has stayed in a smoke free/pet free studio. It comes with a gig bag and will be packaged very well.
