That guitar carries all the right features for a MIM Standard.
But the MZ10 (=2010ish) serial on the neck doesn't fit the body color if I diagnose it right. I'm guessing Sage Green Metallic, and that dropped from the menu a couple years earlier, AFAIK.
Taking the neck off and checking the stamps/markings in the neck pocket/heel might shed some light to this.

And you can check the serial with Fender Consumer Relations - they can usually provide the original specs of the guitar built with that serial.

That would be MZ1, as in 2001, + 6 digits.

thanks for the replies. Im actually buying this guitar but not sure if this is a real Fender. Counterfeit fenders are rampant nowadays.

Absolutely. A momentary lapse of dyslexia on my part. :oops:
