Hello everybody! This is my first post on the Fender forums and I wanted to see about getting some help with some info on this guitar. I have a customer who wanted to consign this guitar with me but I have never seen a strat like this and I don't want to give any prospective buyers wrong info. I tried my best to get some info from the serial number regarding the possible age of the guitar but I have struck out everywhere I have looked. The gentleman bought it new and never played it. Any info would be much appreciated!

Have you tried e-mailing Fender's consumer relations department?

I wasn't sure if Fender fielded these types of inquiries or not. I will give them a call and see if someone there could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Doesn't anyone else find that background story peculiar?
Bought new, first owner, never played, no case, no case candy, no COA..?

The OP asks for the age of the guitar, and the first line on COA's, right under the Fender-logo is "Date" - and has been at least since the early nineties. Of course, I may have just jumped conclusions too fast about what the owner has and hasn't.
One emphasis: I didn't say anything about the guitar - let's wait what Fender has to say.
