I just bought a Highway One US strat that has 10+6 digits serial number. I checked everything in and out and ended up buying it (the Fender guys later confirm its authenticity) but they couldn't find the information about guitars with 10 + 6 digits serial number. I'm really happy with this guitar, but I'm curious why the serial number won't show up.

I read on the other thread that guitars made from late 2010 until March 2011 was using 10 + 6 digits and later changed into 7 digits (these ones was recorded). Only the 6 digit ones were not recorded on Fender's database, I'm just curious why? Anyone has any idea what happened back then?

Mine actually doesn't have the US-prefix. It starts with 10 followed by 6 digits.

There isn't any official info AFAIK, but this 10+six-digits issue has been discussed before: viewtopic.php?t=42105

My personal explanation is, it's just another case of irregularities with Fender serial numbers. Those happen all the time with made-in-elsewhere guitars, but are found in MIA's, too.
I have no explanation why Fender doesn't correct the product dating page info - for 2010, they should have sufficient data on serials.
