OK, I have an unusual purple Squier Affinity Strat. I know for a fact that the color is not Burgundy Mist and it's not refinished. There was another person here describing one similar. It has a rosewood fretboard and a 12' radius. I've never heard of a Squier Strat with a 12' radius. I've looked on the support section of fender.com and squier.com with no luck. I originally thought that it was a 1990, but now I think it must be newer. I'm not the original owner, I got it in 2003. It was a rental from a music store that went out of business. It's Indonesian and the serial number is SN IC001209161. Any information or guesses that anyone has would be great. :)

Many import guitars have a 12" radius for some reason...

Well, my quest for the meaning of my serial number has come to an end (although my quest for trying to figure out whether purple was a stock or custom color hasn't).

I looked up Squier Guitars on Wikipedia and there they had a dating guide like the one Fender has on this site. My Strat was made in the Cort factory in Indonesia in the year 2000. For some reason I always thought it was made in 1990, but hey, it's still almost ten years old. :)

If TGS's guitar is an 2000 then yours must be a 2004!

It hasn't come yet. I just saw a UPS truck go by and got really excited... Until it drove away. :lol:

But when it does I'm going to post a thread about it, write about and post some sound clips and pictures.

That's cool. I can't wait to see it. I guess your amp hasn't hit the shelves yet because I can't seem to find at any online retailers.

I think all the IC branded Indonesian serial numbers are always the year in the first 2 digits of the SN#. I thought I have heard that the next 2 digits are the month, but cannot be certain of how accurate that is.
