£700. Pricey, but I've always wanted a maple-neck Mustang.

That's very, very nice, and the price doesn't seem too steep either.

I wouldn't touch it. (Of course, I would always be tempted to paint it, confusing it as a non-Fender color). That's very striking.

A black guard would look awesome indeed, but the prev. owner needs shown how to string it properly. Slot head tuners have slots for a reason dammit.
