I just traded for a fairly nice Squier Strat. I would like to know when and where it was made. I've tried searching, but didn't find much for Squier serial numbers with no prefix.

It does NOT say Affinity.

The headstock has a large "Squier," followed by STRAT. Underneath "Squier" in small print is "by Fender." If the photo link works, you can see it below.

The tuners all have "Squier" stamped into the round covers on their backs.

The back of the headstock has a sticker with the serial number (0050611xxx).

There are no markings on the neck plate. There are no stickers or anything saying where it was made.

I removed the neck, and rubber-stamped on the body end is what looks like 650802 or maybe 050803. The first letter or number is very hard to make out. Something is scribbled in black marker nearby; must be an inspection mark.

The guitar body is gloss black and the pick guard is three-layer, with white top and bottom and a black middle layer. Standard Strat pickup configuration. 5-position switch.

The neck is maple with rosewood fretboard and has a "skunk stripe" down the back.

Any help on when and/or where it was made?

Thanks!

I would suspect China and by the headstock I would say it's a SE which were used in Stratpacks. There is no info on the Chinese Squiers and Fenders posted anywhere I can find yet.

Thanks a lot. I did some Web searching and comparison and it sure sounds like I have an SE Standard from a package. I will ASSume it's Chinese, since most of them seem to be.

Does anyone know if the serial numbers on these includes the year of manufacture? Mine is 0050611xxx.

No, it only has a rectangular transparent label with the SN. Nothing else on the back. The sealed tuners have Squier stamped in the round covers on the back.

You could email the file to me at rchastain at g m a i l dot com if you don't mind. I have another Strat, have had two others before, and will probably own more in the future. I keep trading, buying, and trying to sell. :-)

Do you have a facebook page? That would make it easier to keep up with changes since I won't visit your site every day. Thanks!
