I have a Fender American Deluxe QMT HSS guitar. The serial number is Z4010526 Have had this from new since 2004. Am now trying to sell it and people are emailing me saying it should have a DZ serial number and am I sure its a Deluxe? Well I am sure because the hang tag with the serial number on it also bears the part number 101580 which I believe is the Fender part number for an American Deluxe QMT HSS guitar. Does anyone know why my guitar doesn't have a DZ serial number? or has anyone come across this before. I would appreciate your comments as soon as possible... Many thanks...Jim

Hi Shadoogy,
I can only guess WHY they didn't give you the "D" :) But the serial number you give is a bonafide Serial number for the 010-1580-820
AM DLX STRAT QMT HSS AMB...completed 8/26/2004 and sent to Europe from our distribution center in Calif. on 9/3/2004.
I actually ran a check......and of the serial numbers that came up, the number you gave IS the only one with a Z rather than a DZ. YAY!!! you have a collector's item!!! :D

Hope that helps a little.......
Best regards,
rob

Hi shadoogie, welcome to the Forum.

The previous post is about as good as it gets, confirmationwise!

I suggest you now print it out, together with the address of this page, and offer that sheet as a sort of extra certificate of authenticity with the guitar.

And add a hundred to the price, too!

Or just keep the Strat - that's what I'd do... :wink:

Cheers - C

Thats put the price up another £500 :wink: . Its a one off and you have a fender employee's say so on its originality.

...To say the least.

Now if all our "verify this Strat" issues could be solved so conclusively - why, we'd have much less to talk about!
