welcome to the forum!

According to that serial number this is the info I get. Nice one!

Guitar Info
Your guitar was made at the
Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA
in the Year(s): 1980 - 1982

Fender: Fullerton
The Fullerton factory opened in 1946, Fullerton California with the first major electric solid body guitar production began in 1950 with the Broadcaster (later known as the Telecaster). Sold in 1965 to CBS who in 1985 sold Fender to a group of private investors the plant was not included in that sale and was subsequently closed.

Hey kk5fe,

I see you have an AS73. How do you like it? I have been thinking about aquiring one.

I love it! I did change the pups in it however.... I put a Gibson burstbucker pro in the neck and a Gibson 498T in the bridge. The stock pups do sound ok... The Gibsons sound better!

For the price, they are a very well made guitar I think. Very solid and sets up well. I dont think you would be dissapointed. Mine is the transparent red.. very cool looking.

Good stuff. You know, the pups are the one thing that I was thinking about changing within the first year.

I like the transparent red, the sunburst and the white. Now I'm just waiting for the right price.

Thanks
