Hi all, just bought a Fender Strat (Used) and was wondering where i could find more information on this guitar using the serial number. It's a stunning see-through Ash body in white & one-piece Rosewood over Maple neck).
Cheers for any help.

Unless you have access to a fender employee thats about all the informtion your going to get out of a serial no'. No one besides employees has access to their database.

What are the first 3 digits of the serial no'?

Thanks for that nikininja, Thought it was a standard just (IMO) a bit unusual that it has an ash body and see through paint. Not that it really matters as i love it
