Just picked up what is supposed to be a 2018 MiM Player but have some reservations over it.

It has two string trees instead of the standard one, although I suppose one could have been added. It is date stamped 2018 & has a MN serial no sticker, so I guess it's correct?

The neck pocket has a large gap on one side & upon removing the neck, a lot of material has been taken from the pocket on that side. Makes me suspect it had another neck attached, ie not the right body. Not much else to see in the neck pocket other than some faint pencil marks, again I suspect due to material being removed. Can anyone advise how to identify a MiM 2018 body? There is a serial number sticker in the neck pickup pocket prefixed MO.

Feel free to disregard/delete. In the 5 1/2 days it's taken for this post to be approved I've answered my own questions. Just as well as the images have also been stripped from the post... :roll:

Not stripped from the post but you shared a link to the image hosting page not the actual image address.

I agree that the wait for 1st posts to be approved is appalling and something an number of us have complained about many times. No doubt having received an answer elsewhere already you will not be joining our happy band of Fender site posters.

Thanks, been many a year since I was forced to link to images hosted off site.

I feel your pain. As Fender only seem to even moderate the site twice a week the odds on them spending money to update the forum are perhaps long in the extreme.
