A database would be very helpful.

They already have a "Data Base".... All of these instruments would be completed and shipping out with a valid Fender Serial #... Why wouldn't they add those to the database... do you know something different about that?


A publicly available database, I think he means.
But I'm not sure that's too helpful as long as the serial numbers cannot be trusted. It could make it easier for forgers, because they could do a large amount of queries and match the serials to the fakes they make.

But it's 2014. We have the technology to embed RFID smart chips costing pennies, which can verify a challenge code, and give a hash back that Fender can verify. These cannot easily be duplicated.
If it were an option, I bet every used guitar store, pawn shop and auction house would make sure they had a reader.
Heck, choose the right technology and it could even be verified through NFC on most modern cell phones, with an app contacting Fender to get the data verified.
There could even be a re-cert program for adding the tags to existing instruments for a price.

Do i think it will happen? Once the problem with fake new Fenders become big enough, I'm sure it will. But not until after a certain other guitar company has blazed the trails.
