This is a nice Super Rare Reissue Fender Mandocaster 4 String Electric Mandolin.  Fender issued a very limited number of these cute little Mandocaster Reissues.  They were made for the European market.  They were listed under the model numbers SB-4 & FM-984.  They were made in late 2001 & early 2002.  These were rejected because the Sonic Blue finish yellowed.  This made these mandolins look like "Sea Foam Green".  They were stored in a warehouse until the end of 2007.  At that time the refurbishing center were I get my instruments bought the remaining stock and sold them to their dealers here in the U.S.   They still has the protective plastic covering on the pickguard!  As far as I know there is only about 40-50 of these that were available here in the U.S.     This ad is for the 4 string version.  I bought the remaining stock from my supplier.  ( I obtained 11 of the 4 string versions & sold 10, this is the very last one that I have.) I've sold 10, so I'm very firm on the price.  This is the very last one!   Once this one is gone all that I have is gone!   We sell quality discount instruments.  We obtain our instruments from a authorized reconditioning center.  They have been sent to the reconditioning center for any of any number of reasons, mostly because of small finish flaws. The instrument flaw is repaired, or is so small that it is left alone.    Our instruments have no structural issues and play well.  The manufacture's serial number is removed by the reconditioning company and replaced with their own serial number.  Then the word "USED" is stamped on the back of the headstock.  These steps are taken by the reconditioning center at the request of the original manufacturer to prevent the filing of improper warranty claims.
