I have some details from an email I sent to Fender. The salient tidbits are:
– Model Name: M70
– Model Number: 035-7000-(Color#)
– Body: Solid Mahogany Body
– Neck: Set Mahogany Neck, (.082″) Thick at 1st Fret, (.088″) Thick at 12th Fret
– Fingerboard: Rosewood
– Scale Length: 24 3/4″
– No. Of Frets: 22
– Width at Nut: 1.6875″
– Pickups: 2 American made DeArmond Gold Tone Humbucking pickups
– U.S. MSRP: $649.99
– Source: KOREA
– Introduced: 7/1999
– Discontinued: 7/2000
So, it was only made for one year. Fender would not release how many were made.; however, based on the s/n I gave them, mine was made in July ’99.
I called my LMS for a value and whatever source they had (not sure if it was the online blue book) didn’t have a listing for this guitar.
If anybody has a blue book value or any other info, please post.
