I picked this up in need of a battery compartment (and a replacement piezo bridge piece) in December and it's been getting fixed from then until recently. Kinda lost the new-toy exhilaration, so I'll put it up to help pay for a trip back to celebrate my folks' 60th anniversary.
Sunburst alder body, 3 Tex-Mex pickups + Fishman/Fender piezo bridge, appears to be made in 2000. This works with a stereo cable (so they say; not tried that way by me yet) or with a mono cable (you can blend the piezo against the passive three.) Fender's cheapout blunder was in wiring this so that of the battery dies or is missing, you get no sound--even from the passive three pickups. So I had a battery on-off switch installed so that at least the three passive pickups are always on.
Comes with a Fender gig bag (and one new replacement bridge piece.) $575 shipped in USA. (Retail is in the $1200 range, depending on finish and new/street is around $900.)
