I recently found my moms old guitar and was wondering how old it is and its possible market value. It is FG series Ensenada. I cant find any info on it at this cite so if someone knows anything about it let me know.

Thanks

You can get an idea of the age of the guitar from the serial number. Simply note the serial number on the label seen through the hole. Then click on the support button on this site and click on the dating link which shows all the serial numbering used by Fender over the years. You should be able to determine the year of manufacture based on this. On some guitars the individual parts were dated when manufactured but those dates do not indicate the year of assembly.

The value of the guitar is more difficult to determine. A very expensive guitar may have no value if the neck is damaged, bowed beyond adjustment, or the cost of repair exceeds the cost of a new instrument. Since the instrument is a family heirloom and that gives it personal value, you may consider paying a technician to bring it up to playing condition even if it costs more than a new comparable instrument. You can get an idea of very old instrument values on the web by googling "antique guitars" and checking the sites that come up.

I hope this helps. Art
