Hope one of you good people can help with this one. I’ve just broken down a Fender Squier Affinity Stratocaster to find the body and neck are very clearly date stamped Sept 1997 but the chrome engraved neckplate is stamped YN673979 which is for 1996. The Affinity range was first introduced by Fender in 1996, would this 96 plate make this guitar a first year edition or is it a case of some plate changing skullduggery by a previous owner? There is no other serial number on the rear of the headstock or any 50th Anniversary sticker in place. It seems odd that the 96 plate is earlier than the date stamp.

Or the factory had leftover plates from the previous year. Kind of doubt folks would make the effort to mess about with Squiers. Maybe JV's but not Affinities.
