some of you may have known my strat, the lite ash strat... and its made in korea. ive got the serial number here - 07068873 can anyone give me more information? i know it might seem silly, but i was wondering if anyone could give me more information about my strat? i just became curious about it... i am unable to read the chart that fender has posted here on the site- its too much for my weak eyes

The 07 could be the year
and the 06 could be the month

The 8873rd made in june 2007.

My other guitar is a Strat.

Hey marymurrah,

I have the same guitar by the way. I sent my serial number to Fender customer support via an email to ask the same question because there wasnt anything that I could find on Korean lite ash strats.

They said the only numbers that mean anything are the first two. So yours was made in 2007. After that, the numbers are meaning less. Mine is a 2004. By the way, these were made from 2004 and was discontinued in 2008. That was also what Fender told me. To bad because they are great guitars!

wow! thats amazing! thank you so much!

Not sure if any more accurate, but I was using the CORT serial number dating system since it seems that they were making a lot of the Korean Fenders.
