Squier stratocaster with label 1946-1996 50 years of excellence
Posted by Anonymous on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 02:44.
Hi, I`d like to know about this guitar.. serial : YN689265 Made in China.. White.. do you know the year and the price for it these days? thank you very much.
I have a beautiful blonde finish lefty Stratocaster Squire with s/n V029188 and reads made in Japan, which based on the s/n tables tracks to late '90s. This guitar has almost never been played (I'm not a lefty) an in immaculate condition with original hardshell Fender case, also in like new condition. What is the approximate resell value on this?

Just need to correct that this is NOT a Squire. The only wording on the headstock reads "Fender". To be more specific, the finish is a blonde, natural woodgrain finish.

recently purchased a made in japan strat serial number Q0 5361. I think it is a 70's re-issue made in the 80's, but the bottom pickup is different than the others- 2 horizontal bars rather than 5 dots, and it is marked seymour duncan. Also, the nut is metal with adjustment screws. Body is natural wood, maple neck. Anybody have any clues?

Hi, on the Fender site is a reference page. Q plus 5 digits is 1997-200 -- crafted in Japan on the neck..........
check the site.............http://www.fender.com/support/usa_instruments.php
pick your axe from the links on the left..........good luck
they made tons of different versions of strats in the 1980's...coming mostly from japan. actually, when fender was bought out in the early 80's, the new american owners looked to japan to start production again because-japan was killing the market with low priced well -(better than the american product!) fender copies (tokai, ibanez...) in fact, fender actually subcontracted these guys to do their japanese production!
most jap fender solidbodies from that time have basswood bodies as opposed to ash, alder or poplar. many had locking nts and floyd rose type tremelos as they were in vogue then. (think van halen, etc.)
i have one from the late 80's. it's made nicely. as for value, not much for resale but they are fine players.
sounds like you may have a gibson style pu at the bridge. may have been stock, or someone stuck in a seymore duncun aftermarket. they are good p.u.s if you like that sound.
What's going on, hoping for some feedback on the value of my '62 re-issue, American strat. SN: V102911. Sunburst, in EXCELLENT condition, w/ awesome tweed case, also in excellent condition. Possibly two nicks on the guitar anywhere, barely noticeable. Plays like a dream. Purchased for $699, don't remember how many years ago, but quite some time ago. Thanks for any help or referring links.
anyone have an idea what a 1999 American Deluxe Fat strat 3 color sunburst 2single coil noisless 1 DH-1 humbucker rosewood fretboard abalone inlays in mint shape worth?
: : my uncle gave me this guitar and i was just wondering what year it is.
: Probably anywhere from '86 to '88. One of the best Squiers made in my opinion.
: Couldn't agree more, i've just bought an 'E' series with the Fender stamped,US fender spaced saddles (56mm),Gotoh tuners,1 piece Maple neck,solid Alder/Ash body.Plays really well, PUPs are a bit naff but these guitars are good enough to put some pretty esoteric pickups in, i might just put a set of US standard ones in for now. Great guitars absolute hidden gem.

I have a sunburst Mexican made Fender Cyclone. I can't find out anything about it at all. also i have a Squire from the 1980's, it is neck through construction, floyd rose locking trem, two humbuckers and a single and says made in korea by Fender on the headstock. someone around town said it was fake. any info?
: : anyone know where i could find the value of this guitar? thanks...

The 'E' section of the serial means 198X's and the 7 immidiately after means 1987. Therefore you have an 1987 model. If the logo is silver it's a silver series. Typically sought after due to a '60's feel neck fine alder bodies and gotoh machine heads. Rest of the stuff on them is fairly average but with a heavy gotoh block, fender pup's and perhaps dimarzio hardware (with correct setup/fret dress) these strat can play and sound as good as any american Fender or even the reissues.
after looking at all the junk guitar parts these criminals on ebay are trying to sell for outrageous money. i picked out an old strat neckplate ive had for years it reads L74347 is it really worth anything? if so make me an offer.

Bought my 1962 copy fiesta red strat 2nd hand in 1984 it has genuine fender machine heads plus a plastic? gasket that fits under the neck security plate! serial No. is E1006105,also it has the xmas tree string guides.what year is it please? also any other info would be welcome.thanks.
There a really nice mint condition Squire strat in the shop here, I believe it is Japanese made (In the 80's/90's) its cream in color with a white pickguard (I know squire no longer makes strats available in this color, only the American Fender's come in this color now), it plays very well, and is in excellent condition (no real scratches or dings), they have a $175 price tag on it, is it worth it?

hi,
is it possible to trace a strat by its serial number ? I know you can find the built-year; but can we find details about what actual version of strat it is; like...is it a "standard" or "american standard" or "highway" or ...... and if so, how can one do that ?
Posted by Andy DelNero on Sun, 03/12/2006 - 13:35.
Anone have info and/or photos of Scorpions' Ulrich Roth's Strat from the '70's? It's nearly impossible to find more info and pictures of Uli from the '70's, especially in regard to his equipment.
Interested in the value of a beautiful S782358. Guitar and case in great condition. Pickups are Dimarzio - don't know if that is factory or if they have been changed, also how would that affect value. Thanks for any help!
Your guitar is Japanese manufactured, it was made in 1994-1995. The value of Japanese made Fender's is approximately two thirds less than American. New, that guitar did not come stock with Dimarzio pickups. The Dimarzio's are worth more than the guitar itself. You could sell that guitar for approximately $200.00 - $250.00 and that is a great deal.
Hello - I have scrolled through some sites with serial number listing, and have not found the series of our Strat. We inherited it a few years ago. The serial number is H101. The logo on the case has the "tail" under the Fender name. Any ideas of the age?
Thanks
