Hi, I'm new here. Just today, in fact. So...I have this Squier Strat that has a serial number of: VN576637. There is nothing on the dating page that would tell me anything about the date of this guitar. I just know it is older that 1999. That is when my son bought it from someone he knew in high school. It is a cheaper model and the plate on the back of the neck says 'Made in Korea'. Anyone have any ideas?

I went on a date with a Squier Strat once....

It was hardly a gentleman. It didn't hold any doors for me, didn't pay for a single drink, just sat there silently during the meal.

Needless to say I never went out with it again.

This is from the wikipedia page, but it seems to be pretty accurate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squier#Korean_Squiers
Korean Squiers

CN/VN: C = Cor-Tek (Cort), V = Saehan(Sunghan), S was already taken by Samick so Saehan(Sunghan) used V instead (Saehan(Sunghan) made the Vester guitars), N = Nineties (1990s), the first number following the serial number prefix is the year.

For example

* "CN5" = made by Cor-Tek (Cort) in 1995.
* "VN5" = made by Saehan(Sunghan) in 1995.
