Hey Everyone,

I purchased a Highway One Strat over the summer, and have been wanting to know the history of my guitar, but can't figure out how to read my serial number.

The Serial Number is:
Z6022555

It also has the Fender 60th Diamond Anniversary Stamp thing on the back of the headstock.

Its a Honey Blonde finish, Rosewood Fretboard, and the smaller 50's/60's Headstock.
The Highway Ones I see in the newer Musician's Friends/Music 123s have the larger 70's headstock.

any help on figuring this out would be great.
I checked the Fender site for "how to read Serial Numbers" but I couldn't seem to figure mine out.

Thanks Guys.

From the Fender Site-
"Z"-prefix serial numbers denoting the new millennium appeared on U.S.-made instruments in 2000. Z0 denotes 2000; Z1 denotes 2001, etc. American Deluxe Series instruments use the same dating convention, but with the addition of a "D" in front of the "Z", i.e., DZ1, DZ2, etc. As always, there is typically some number prefix overlap and carryover from year to year.
Therefore your Z6XXXXXX was made in 2006- the site just goes to Z5, maybe that's why you were confused?
