I believe the 3 digit in the serial number which is 8 indicates that the Strat was manufactured sometime in 2008.

Your guitar was made 1984. E is for eighties, N for ninety's, and Z for 2000's.

You can Use http://fender.com/support/usa_instruments.php to locate USA serial dates.
Does indicate around 1984

or use the Guitar Dater Project site

Not very specific results for that serial

Yeah your right! E4 proceeded by 5 digits indicates it built in 1984
