MIM Strat - Legit?

[StratUp]

For sale locally. SN gives me 1993 MIM at the Fender site. Model comes up as 0134600580. Fender has no further info.

Desirability? It looks like a bargain if there are no red flags.

Looks legit.

Nothing sticks out as obvious. Hardware all looks right.

Were the MIM's back then good gear? I've only handled the later Players.

smaller frets and a small tremolo block - otherwise great quality guitar - the frets aren't poor quality though, just a different feel....

Ceramic pickups for a bit of a different more compressed sound.....

I had a '99 MIM Standard, it looked pretty much identical except the color. Great guitar, weaknesses were the pickups (not great, but nothing wrong with them), and the bridge saddles that gouge your pick hand.

Those string ends are triggering me, reminds me of this stuff:

Welp, I contacted the seller when I posted here yesterday. That was three hours after it was listed. Still no response.

I'm guessing it was sold. It was a great deal $ wise. We'll see.

EDIT: Confirmed sold. I messaged him three hours after posting... must be people out there monitoring 24/7 for deals.
