Incoming 1977 Fender Musicmaster

HNB

Seller says it is all original. Do you all recommend I open it up when it arrives to check it out? I hear Musicmasters are routed for two pickups stock. Seems interesting. Here are pics from the seller. Once it arrives, I will do my usual flurry of pictures. 😀

Looks pretty clean and well taken care of from the pics. What'd you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Old tuners (lower) next to reissue ones. The older ones had shorter posts where the knobs connect.

See the mark on the guard where the serial number would be on a sticker? It is stuck to the body. This should mean that guard is the original one. 😀
