Hi,

Purchased a second hand HR DeVille 212 and I'm trying to identify the production year.
I found a web page http://www.fender.com/support/articles/amplifier-product-dating/ on Fender site that has some tips for doing that and I suppose the date should be March 2002 if I read the QA sticker correctly (last two letters MC) M->2002 C->March

The serial number is B-153560 and it says Made in U.S.A
Did I interpret that correctly?

Hi mturk1,

Made in USA would be generally 2001 or before, but quite possible that some ran into 2002. It was about 2001 that the production was switched to Mexico for the HRd series of amps.

Your best bet might be to contact Fender with the serial number for verification of production date.

Thanks. I contacted Fender's Consumer Relations and they came back within hours. Awesome!
They confirmed it was made on 02/28/2002.
