My guitar's serial number is E (XXXXXX), for some odd reason im having trouble finding that on the fender website. I think its from the 1980's, and its a stratocastor made in USA. What year would it be?

yes there are 6 numbers. So, for sure, without a doubt it would be American made, correct? And do you know the exact year? If so, how much would this type of guitar be worth?

Thank you so much for your help.

If you unscrew the neck from the body there should be a date stamped
on the neckend or in the neckpocked.
Maybe under the pickguard there also dates, not sure about that.
Is the serialno. on the headstock? If so it's an American Standard.
