Hi All,

I've checked the Fender Guitar serial number nomenclature and couldn't fined any serial No nomenclature beginning with "YN"

This is supposed to be a Fender Squire made between 1974-76, but hard to work out if this is a valid serial #.

Also, I've seen a lot of Fender- clones, and they are actually labelled "Fender"

Note sure if that sounds right, or if this is an issue of Fender allocating patent rights to select guitar makers (?)

Any insight on the above is appreciated,
cheers

Squier Wasn't around in the 1970s, the brand was started in 1982. Also unless it is a Fender, Starcaster or Squier by Fender it shouldn't legally have the Fender name on it

Squiers with YN before the numbers are made in China (Taiwan - Yako)

"YN: Y = Yako (Taiwan). The second character refers to the decade N = Nineties (1990's). And the first number following is the year. So, for example "YN6" = 1996. This form is associated with Made in China Affinitys[sic] (with the standard body thickness of 45mm/1.75)." The NCxxxx were also Affinities ('96-'98) and '96 Bullets (same specs as Affinities - different decal)."
