I have a Fender Stratocaster with an E prefix serial number however it has a jack socket similat to the one on the Fender Duo and not a recessed one like the later models. Has anyone any idea when these were fitted to Stats?

Hmm. That's interesting - what's the serial my man?

Hi

The serial number is E323893 Made in USA

is the jack in the pick guard if so its a 83 std made when they were cutting costs hence no jack route and no 2nd tone pot but if the jack isn't in the pickguard the its been modified and is a later model
