Hello, In this little video you can see some photographs of the stratocaster I'm interested in. Since there is no way of finding more information about the model, I ask your help.
I couldn't find a match with the serial number. I don't know if the first two characters are letters or digits. If first character stands for an I, than it should be followed bij only six digits.
If you know more information, production-date, pricing, that will be very welcome too!


Thank you very much at forehand.

Regards,

Marco
Gouda, the Netherlands

It looks like a clean US model. The tuners, neck, bridge, and neck plate all look right.
The only concerning thing is, as you say, the serial number comes back as invalid.
The number appears to be a "10+6", which is consistent with current numbering and perhaps from a 2010, but I would expect the number to be "US10+6"
I would call Fender Customer Relations and ask. They are generally very helpful.

“10” prefix followed by a space and seven digits (late 2009 through March 2010)

This is also found on the instrument dating section of the support pages

US10 + 6 digits (beginning in about March 2010)

There's nothing wrong with the serial number - it was made in 2010/early 2011.
It's also a very tidy looking guitar :D
