Hello,
I recently meet a 50TH ANNIV. STRATOCASTER MB guitar, but have some problem of it.
As attached COA, what's the mean of S/N begins XN-? Is XN a Master-builter? But I didn't found him on Master-builter listing.
THX!

Hi there hard to tell from the pics and assuming it is whats described I suspect the coa is a reissue and the original has been lost.
These were made in 2004 and normally the masterbuilders name is on the bottom of the certificate
Instead yours is dated 2015 and signed by the then CS manager.
Check the signature on the back of the headstock and decipher the builder from that.
Might be JC :D
