The gloss Candy Apple Red finish 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 earlier Fender Japan offerings. Cosmetic wear is limited to one finish chip on the treble-side lower bout edge, mild pick scuffing on top, and a few additional small dings on the body as a whole. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss.
A hardshell case is included.
