I purchased my third Strat about 1 1/2 months ago. Found a deal online where someone won a USA Vintage in a casino contest and wanted to sell. I bought it sight unseen (he didn't even know the color). It was still sealed in the Fender cardboard box - I just threw that out.
It is black with a kinda cream white pickguard, maple fretboard, vintage pickups, vibrato arm and came in a Fender flight case (nice case BTW) with all accesories.
When I look on the site here the Vintage models are not equipped this way. It is a 2008 as the serial starts with Z80.
How do I find out exactly what this is?

I typed the serial of my acoustic with the word 'Fender' into Google the other day, and the first line of results was a page on this site stating the year of manufacture for my number. Try it.

I was looking for more detail - I know the Strat is 2008 from the serial but I don't see that model as is on the website. I was looking to find further information than just year...

Welcome to the forum! Maybe if you post a picture one of these good people can tell you what you have. :)

Bryon Blue,

I was on this forum a few weeks ago and saw a string about a website. Someone mentioned a site where you can type in the serial number and it will tell you where your guitar was made and what year. WIsh I could help more, maybe someone else remembers this site?

I thought the serial numbers of the Vintage Reissues started with V.
So maybe that's not a Vintage Reissue.

Tell us more about the features and/or post a picture, then maybe someone could tell you the model you have.
