I just received a Fender Squier Bullet Hardtail in a trade. I cannot seem to find the year on this guitar.
It says that it is "crafted in Indonesia" and then it has the serial number of SI021xxxxx. It is a very dark blue/green color.

I did some research on this guitar and Indonesian serial numbers are supposed to start with either "IC" or "IS" at the beginning. This one starts with "SI". I am almost positive that it is the letter I and not the number 1 because there are a couple of 1's in the serial number.

The mysteries in Squier serial numbers are plentiful and joyous... :wink:

But seriously. There have been both IS and SI serialed Indonesian Squiers, both identifying the instrument as a Samick product. The first two digits would make it a 2002 guitar, and that fits the period when SI serials were used.
