I have two Aluminum Body Custom Shop Strats. One is the Green Splatter Finish which I have seen described and pictured online. However I can't seem to find any pics or descriptions of the Yellow one I have. Wondering if anyone can shed light on this guitar with serial number CN30081.

I'll be selling both of these guitars in the near term

You are not supposed to advertise selling guitars here according to the Forum Rules.

If the meaning of that sentence is ambiguous, and therefore causing concern, it can easily be removed by editing the post.

I'd be willing to bet that Alain's English is way better than your French. :lol:

I read English just fine, thank you, and I agree with Alain.

Butterscotch has the simple solution. :wink:

....Its all about perception isn't it? The sentence written, and its placement as a seperate paragraph IS ambiguous. It can be seen as a pure statement of fact of its future, or it can be seen as an invitation for inquiries with intent to sell.
....just my personal impression.......

at any rate, Jimbiff, I am able to track your serial number, but it is near the tail end of that ability in our archives. Unfortunately, try as i might, specs for many Custom Shop guitars are lost to the ages, as they were on paper and not input into any data system (remember that computers were still not all that popular or in general use yet in 1994 comparative to paper and pens).
Here's what i can tell you.....and it aint much (sorry!!) The guitar was completed 3/31/1994 and shipped to a dealer in Boston 4/30/1994. It is listed in our database generically as a "Custom Instrument" with a Custom Shop generic part number of 012-1500-000. The only thing the Part number tells me is that it was probably NOT Master built (if it was-- the last 3 digits would likely contain 010 or 020), so probably "Team Built". And that's all i got.
Hope it helps a bit.
All the best,
rob

:O) I wouldn't say it was wrong. Just remember that the guide isn't always comprehensive and Fender has some duplications...CN IS used in both places.....so maybe.....a little quick is all!
Cheers!

One can only hope that consistency and uniformity in dating and the use of serial numbers will prevail into the future such that 2013 serial numbers will not find their way on to 2014 built products. It would also be of some value for Fender to find an indelible method of dating neck ends and control cavity/neck pockets so posterity will be served. :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:
