Anyone know of a URL of a Fender database that tracks serial numbers of strats? I'm trying to help a relative determine if his 'American' strat was made in Mexico or not. I thought perhaps the number would indicate its source of origin.
May 23, 2018 - So Fender maintained a number of different serial numbering systems. Many changed over time as Fender became more popular and some. For Martin guitars that have a serial number, this is straight forward. Other makers, however, changed the pattern, and even repeated serial numbers. Other makers, however, changed the pattern, and even repeated serial numbers. Serial numbering didn’t change immediately because instruments continued to be made using existing, tooling, parts and serial number schemes. The chart below details Fender serial number schemes used from 1965 to 1976. For example, let’s take a Stratocaster with the serial number 279515 and the code 22384109B. Starting with the letter B, this is the same neck width code Fender has been using since 1962. The next number is the production year, in this case 9 = 1969. The next one or two digits are for the month, here 10 = October.

Hi Leonardo, welcome to the forum ? I hope you will like it here.
I think this is a 1992 stratocaster and around %575-900 - however perhaps another member can give you a more accurate number.

Fender.com has a decent s/n lookup function too.
Value of used Fenders is based on condition (unless it is real old). A good place to check value is on eBay. Just see what they are selling for. In good condition, a US made strat that is 10 years old or so should bring $500-700.
Mexican Fender serial numbers usually start with the letter M. But check out Fender.com to be sure.

Hi all, just joined when I was researching the serial numbers for Mexican made strats. I'm about to sell one and want to describe the age accurately and hopefully I will buy a 84 SG tomorrow, hell of a deal, I still love Fenders but....love AC/DC too. One day I will have a guitar collection, for me that means more than one! From the Fender.com site, no password necessary: MN0+ 5 digits 1990-1991 MN1+ 5 digits 1991-1992 MN2+ 5 digits 1992-1993 MN3+ 5 digits 1993-1994 MN4+ 5 digits 1994-1995 MN5+ 5 digits 1995-1996 MN6+ 5 digits 1996-1997 MN7+ 5 digits 1997-1998 MN8+ 5 digits 1998-1999 MN9+ 5 digits 1999-2000 MZ0+ 5 digits 2000-2001 MZ1+ 5 digits 2001-2002 MZ2+ 5 digits 2002-2003 MZ3+ 5 digits 2003-2004 MZ4+ 5 digits 2004-2005 MZ5+ 5 digits 2005-2006 I hope that helps anyone out there still looking, and glad to be a part of the neighborhood.
