Hey y'all.

So I recently picked up a nice American strat.

I am having some issues finding out when she was made.

4 bolt neck. Small writing on head stock. Serial number is E301135

I have tried and see that this model number was 1982-1985. Now with it having 3 knobs I am eliminating 83 and 84 and 85 I believe.

But 1982 seems wrong with it having the small writing on the head stock.

I'm lost. Help!!! Lol

Thanks everyone.

We need picture to help you.

What is a small writing ( on the headstock) for you ?

There were three knob Strats in all those years you mention.
The genuine headstock(?) and spaghetti(?) logo; using wild guessing, it could be a vintage '57 or '62 model.

And I (as usual...) agree with st52; post pics if you want actual help.

Yea, thanks - those would be V-serialed. A momentary lapse of reason on my part...
