This particular iteration of Candy Apple Red is abbreviated "OCR" in the Fender Japan catalog for Old Candy Apple Red, denoting a darker and more vintage-correct shade of this classic custom color than previous Fender Japan offerings. There are just a couple faint marks on the body, and the smooth ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original gigbag is included, along with the hangtag, dated to the 21st year of the Heisei era (2009).
