Fender Strat Serial Number Database
Fender Strat Serial Number Database Rating: 4,8/5 8271 votes
The Fender serial number decoder currently supports all documented MIA, MIJ, MIM, MIK and MII formats with the exception of Custom Shop, Relic and Reissue instruments. Please note that fender serial numbers tend to overlap by at least a year, and thereby the date of your guitar can only be approximated. Jan 18, 2016 This method can get you there, but it has its pitfalls!

- Oct 15, 2014 IS: I = Indonesia, S = Samick, the serial number prefix is followed by a 2 number year. For example 'IC02' Made in 2002. In 2009-10 some Indonesian Squier's had the prefix ICS09XXXXX and ICS10XXXXX. There are a number of standard models that have the ICS prefix some are FSR but some are just normal run models.
- The serial numbers do not reflect this change - Fender continued to make instruments using existing serial number schemes. The new Fender did not acquire any physical assets of the old company, just the name 'Fender'. Hence during 1985 to 1987, production of Fender guitars was only done in Japan, while USA Fender created a new factory in.
- Fender was sold to CBS in January 1965. 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. Notice that there is quite a bit of overlap in numbers and years.
- Although a serial number is helpful for roughly determining the age of a guitar, this is often not the exact date. As a result of the overlap between years, Fender serial numbers are also not by definition chronological. In the past (we are talking about before 1976).

* God bless America and our men and women in uniform * Aug 14, 2008 I started using Adobe/Macromedia technologies with Director, then switched to Flash then to Flex. I can say that I like better Flash than Director for 2D projects and better Flex than Flash for application development. Application development in Flash is time consuming (albeit you can also use UI components and MVC frameworks). Jul 05, 2008 I have 12 years experience with Flash and actionscript. Here´s the market value for us: Graphic and visual design - Flex - no, to much standard design and complex so far (the lack of Flex experienced programmers and designers) Flex - RIA - yes - great as standalone project Flex - Support out there - could be better, but Adobe is working on it. * Illegitimi non carborundum! * If you benefit and learn from the FDP and enjoy our site, please help support us and become a Contributing Member or make a Donation today!
