I have got a very nice Fender Masterbuilt 50's (1999/2000) Stratocaster by Shishkov in 2004.
Certificate of authenticity says serial number YS0401 and is signed by Yurij, back of the headstock there is the Custom Shop Logo with the number YS0401 and Yurijs (old) sign, but Neckplate number is R6263.
Its all original, mailed with Yurij in 2004. Have also some pictures from Yurijs work with exactly this guitar on his workbench, same body, same neck. But i have forgotten to ask him about the serials, now don't have his new mail adress...
Does one of you know, why there is a second different serial number on the neckplate (R6263)? I hope, you can help me, there seem to be a lot of experts in this forum...

To my knowledge the Custom Shop doesnt put the serial number in the back of the headstock. Can you post pictures?

I don't have much info to offer but some strats do have a masterbuilt serial on the back of the headstock.
it is possible this is used to track the Masterbuilders work.
The other R serial will be the general fender serial and should be the same as the cert.
May I suggest you email Fender consumerrelations@fender.com with the details and questions :D

Super nice strat man. Yea only Yuriy I saw with serial on headstock was a set neck. I guess sometimes they use part just because they have em, now you have two serials :)
