Not sure if this is the correct forum to do so but, I came across a, what I think is a used 2000 Roadhouse strat. I tried looking it up on google, and saw that Fender made Roadhouse and Texas Special Strats around the same time. Can someone help me confirm this please? sn# Z00316xx.

It's a reasonable bet that it is a Roadhouse - that was the one with 3 Texas Specials, and the 3-color burst ones had that shell pickguard with white covers and knobs. It has 2 string trees, so that means it would be from the first half of 2000. In July of 2000 Fender replaced the American Standards with the "American Series" models, which had quite a few upgrades, including staggered-height tuners so they only had one string tree.

At that time the "Roadhouse" name went away and the models was renamed the "American Stratocaster Texas Special" - which just rolls off the tongue, but I suppose they were trying to come up with standardized names.

There is always the possibility that it's a modded American Standard; I would go ahead and email the full serial number to Fender at consumerrelations@fender.com - they can look it up by serial number.
