International Buyers - Please Note:

Fender Music Master MOD made in 1963 [SN 97078]

Fender / Music Master MOD is in stock!
The pot is a '62 Stackpole, the neck date is '63, and the plate serial is dated '61, but we have comprehensively determined that it was made in '63.
The paint film on the neck plate matches the paint film that peeled off from the body, so it is likely that only the plate was left over from an older date, etc.
This is a modified Music Master with Duo-Sonic assembly.
The pickups are black bobbin and probably close in age, but we have not been able to identify them.
There is a possibility that the pickups were transplanted from a '62 Duo Sonic assembly.

The knobs have some chrome peeling, body seal marks, and overall damage, but it is a very atmospheric guitar.
The frets have been adjusted and the whole body has been adjusted, so it can be used without any playing problems.
Truss rod: There is room for tightening/loosening.
Neck condition: No problem
Fretboard: 70% remaining
Accessories: soft case
Serial number: 97078
Weight: 2.75kg

Item Rank: B: Fairly scratched and used, but no problems in normal use.

*** The shipping cost to most countries is included in the listed price ***
