I posted this to "Ask Mike" as well, but since it's not a Custom Shop question, I thought I should post here too.

Are all the 1982-84 56/62RI made in Fullerton? Where there any MIJ/MIK/MIM versions in that years?

Thanks

I think there was some mij at that time. Don't think there should be any MIK or MIM in that time.

Thanks guys. My bad, I meant 57RI, not 56RI. I'm looking at an 82 57RI, all the case candy and it does have the Fullerton brown manual, so I assume it's an AVRI. How can I tell it from a non-american made? The serial on the neck plate is very early, V003xxx

I'm guessing it's this one, that's a lot of money. Looks like a nice guitar though.

I would rather have a JV strat myself.

V + 4 to 6 digits (U.S. Vintage Series) = 1982-1988 (neck date=exact year)
V + 5 to 6 digits (U.S. Vintage Series) = 1989-present (model dependant)

HOWEVER, I don't see anything about them on the neck plate.

There were at one time Numbers on the neck plates, but that was in earlier years and there was "L-Series" and F-Series" or no letter.

The 82 to 85 US 57 and 62 reissues are probably the hottest Fenders of the last 20 years and a hot collectors piece $$$.

That would be the time when the new ownership was taking over and they had just started building new guitars slowly in the US. Of that group, David Gilmour's White and Red Stratocasters originated.
