I have a sunburst 60’s Strat® MN810**** as well and its the best built strat I own, and I have vintage, expensive versions!

Absolutely love it, dark dark varnish too on neck, beautiful..

: Hello, : I have a Mexican Strat. The serial number is MN000206 , I bouth it from some guy and he also didn’t knew when it was made . Thanx

: Hey Forum, : I have a 60’s Reissue Mexican Strat. The serial number reads "MN8". Fender started production of these models in 1999. Guess that makes me pretty confident about owning a first run one. : Does anyone know if Fender’s Mexican serial numbers work the same way the US serial numbers do? (factory number, exact day, etc?) Thanks gang, would really appreciate some insight to this one, it’s kinda making me nuts. I have a Mexican Fender with the serial number starting with ‘MN9′ reading MN9 121690. I found a site that let me know it was produced in 1999. seems if the serial number starts with MN8-9 then it is mexican made in either 1998-99’. here is the URL- http://www.kellyindustries.com/manufacturers/fender_serial_numbers.html hope that helps

M ==> Mexico N ==> 1990 8 ==> 1998 the rest is just the # w/nothing to due w/day produced : Hey Forum, : I have a 60’s Reissue Mexican Strat. The serial number reads "MN8".
