I recently bought a used Mexican Robert Cray Strat. When I brought it in for a set-up, the tech pulled the neck to try to find the manufacture date. There were some numbers stamped on the neck, and a few hand written numbers on a small piece of glued on grid paper. Nothing looked like an obvious date. Anybody know how to determine the date on these guitars? Thanks!

Thanks, Snow72, but you can't date MIM signature models (like the Cray or the Jimmy Vaughn) from the serial number.

nikininja, we didn't think to photograph the neck heel. The serial number is MSN6#####. Stamped number on heel is MOC ######. On the grid paper:

4
5 -- ME (line through #5 and and "ME" hand written)
6
7
