Do squier guitars have serial numbers?
I just bought a used squier strat at a pawn shop for $60, which I think is a good deal.
It's in excellent shape (was probably $120 new?).
Anyway, I'm trying to figure out when it was made, etc.
Also, one thing it was missing was the trem arm.
Do they all take a threaded 6mm arm?

Yes, they all have come with a serial number. They can be on the neck plate, front or back of the headstock depending on the year and model, etc. The SE strats from a Strat Pack had the serial number on a round sticker on the back of the headstock or heel (can't recall which). Many times those have been removed.

Here is a link to some more info.

hmmm....can't find one on any of the places you mentioned.
Maybe I'll take the back cover plate off and see if I can find anything inside.
I'm really just trying to find out when and where it was made.
All it says on the headstock is Squier (in big letters) by Fender (in very small letters, and the word "strat" in medium size letters.
It's black with pearl-type white pick guard, and a single white volume control with two tomne controls and the 5-way switch (pretty standard I am sure).
It has three single coil white pickups.
Has a chrome plate on the back at the base of the neck that says Squier.
It also has a white cover plate on the back, over the trem assembly, with holes in it for adjustment so you don't have to remove the cover plate.
The tuning pegs all say Squier on them.
I was surprised at how well it played.
