Hello Folks. My parents bought me a guitar a while ago and I'm trying to figure out exactly which one I got. I know its an American Strat (the "Made in the USA" gave it away) but i dont know how I figure out more then that. I have the serial number and stuff like that if it would be helpful its z1027449. I also know it was made Aug 06 2001 as iI have the little inspected by sheet. I basically want to know as much as I could about it. One minor note is that I know hardly nothing about guitars. I could post a picture if it would be helpful as well. Just let me know. THANKS!

"One minor note is that I know hardly nothing about guitars. "

You have wonderful parents considering all that. So let's say I put in a request to them, prove to them that I sincerely DO know something about guitars, and even play them a really nice song on a guitar...do you think they will buy me one too? They say the economy is shot, but wow, people are buying their kids a lot of neat things!

It's likely an Am Standard of common ilk. Don't worry about asking what type it is, justlearn to play it and make them proud! And play them a nice song on it..make 'em smile at ya!

Pics are nice. SN will only give me information as to when and where it was made, not model. I know there are a lot of nice people here on the Forum that could help you ID that Strat, if you provise a picture. Front and back.

Welcome to the Forum. :)

'07 Fender HWY 1 Stratocaster SSS
'06 ESP LTD MH - 100 QM
'04 Crate GFX65
'07 Fender G-DEC
Multiple Boss Effect pedals

Still wondering what all that stuff is! I'm guessing garage sale...? :)

When I started my profile I added that stuff in. It is what I currently own...Not garage sale stuff. You will see a some of the people here post what stuff they own. I did post what it all means in a post a few days ago; however, I guess you missed it. Aside from the Fender Highway 1, Boss effect pedals, and the Crate amp, it all could be garage sale stuff.

Here are some pics. Hope this helps identify it. And I've actually had this guitar for about 5 or 6 years...I just never really pursued music after I got it for X-mas one year, other things got in the way. Now that I have time again I'm trying too get back into it!
Thanks again

It looks like an American Standard Stratocaster to me as well. I cannot make out what is on the Neck Plate (the writing).

According to the Guitar Dater Project:
Your guitar was made at the
Corona Plant (Fender), USA
in the Year(s): 2001 - 2002

Your parents bought you a high quality guitar. They probably spent at least $1000 or more at the time. Sorry I cannot tell you any more than that. Wish I had parents like that when I was younger.
