So I just won an ebay auction for one of these (mostly by accident...) and wondered if anybody knew anything about them. There seems very little info I can find, apart from they were made in the late 90s after Fender stopped making the MIM version. The bit of info I did find implied that these were made with the same parts as the MIM models.
I too have had one, but to be fair it was the same one as mage's. Great little guitrs, same parts as the MIM except as stated above. I didn't mind the "economy" tuners so I never bothered with changing them. I did gut it out and put new electronics in. Theyre cool guitars, I kept mine around for learning newsongs since it's super-short scale was really easy to play on. The neck was good and it sounded very plunky, but in a mustang sort of way
