I`ve seen new guitars sold as the 08 model but have a serial number starting with 7. I understand that their made late in 07 to be sold as new in 08. What happens if you want to sell that guitar, is it considered an 07 or an 08 ? If it has the new polished neck and other new features of the 08 why was 7 put on it in the first place ?

trust me, its sorta a pet peeve of mine... i have a Toronado with the same problem. Toronado's didn't come out until 1998 but my serial starts with MN7 :shock: . funny thing is, is that if you take the neck off the body and the neck are stamped Apr 98 and May 98.... why the headstock says otherwise is beyond me.

Both of my Strats have serial numbers from the previous year but sold as new of the next year. I think this could be a problem on a resale. Not everyone is willing to take the neck off but I guess if you want to find out the exact date thats what you have to do.
