First timer.
Just picked up a custom shop stratocaster and cannot find serial numbers.
The guy I got it from is the second owner and he thinks it's a 1994.
Black body white pearloid pickguard with matching white pearloid headstock.
Custom F USA stamp on back of head 3 of 12 NO Serial #
Custom F USA on neck plate NO Serial #
I was thinking the serial number is under the pearloid head stock cover ???
I don't want to take off more than I have to. The neck removal seems kind of scary.
Any help would be great.
Not sure how to insert photos.

With a limited run of 12, the chances are that 3 of 12 will be the serial number, and the original model name/description will be important. If you contact consumer relations at Fender, consumerrelations@fender.com they might be able to give you more info. Pics will be important though, and as much detail as possible.

A "pearloid" covered headstock? That's something that seems a little strange. If you can get pics up here, that would help! :)

It took awhile but if you do it a couple times works great

VERY interesting... I've never seen the faceplate type headstock except on guitars like the Mustang and Aloha strats! really cool regardless. a lot of these guitars didn't really have serial numbers, per say. they were just "xx of xx" some guitars had the serial on the Cert.
