I'm re working my 2007 MIM. Just curious if anyone knows what some of the stamping on the neck and body indicate/mean. I get the 2007 and that's about it. Can the type/Style of neck be determined from the photo? Getting back into guitars and this is my first go at simple upgrade.

I think the date stamp on the neck pocket says 06 AGO (= August) 2002.
The five digits are a code for a body, 29547, full version would be 0029547xxx. The x'es mean the digits for a color code; yours looks like a 587/Cobalt Blue Metallic.
That body was described in older service diagrams as "Body, Squier Strat, Solid Color" - it's Mexican made, though, mouse ears and mojohole and all. And I'd also believe the Fender brand; many MIM Squiers had a SQUIER stamp in the neck pocket.

The handwritten markings (pocket/neck) are inspection marks from various workers at different stages of manufacturing, and these unsung heroes usually remain nameless.
