Wow! Check out this eBay auction - what a fabulous body & neck. Great photos too - I've been drooling over them for 20 minutes!

I feel a GAS attack coming on......

according to the lists have a P serial number places it at 1993/1994. The body wood really resembles the sen guitars I have... and what a sales pitch eh.

Steve, £700 for my MIJ 62?

Not sure why, but I don't like the grain on that one. Is that ash or sen? It's looks kinda scaley to me.

A "P" serial number on a "Crafted in Japan" Fender indicates a production date of 1998- 2002.

Strings are so high you could hang your wash to dry otherwise looks great to me.

3.5 kg? EIGHT pounds?

Color me spoiled, too damn heavy. Back surgery dictates light guits.

Ben,

Don't tempt me! I STILL havent been able to locate a MIJ 62 Custom in CAR. You may just have bought the very last one...

Well seriously Steve if you get the money together and you're ever interested I might definitely be interested in a trade of sorts. We could swap guitars for a while.

make sure you scroll down to the bottom of that e-bay page...every winning bidder gets a free Fender Ope-Tech tool! that should really drive up the bids!
