I think EJ strats are random numbers, you will have to pull the neck. My sunburst is EJ12039-neck date is march 28 2007, body is march 22 2007. My blonde is EJ07525-neck is June 20 2007, body is June 14 2007. As you can see, the blonde was put together later than the sunburst and has a lower number. Maybe they are consecutive to color? If you do pull the neck, now is the time to sign your name and whatever else you want to ID it if it's ever stolen/lost somehow. Enjoy it, my favorite next to the 62' Hot Rod :twisted:

Its funny you mention the Hot Rod 62 since I just got one this week. I also have an EJ Strat - These two models are the best I've ever played of the Fender American production line.

Hi Guys,
I have been trying to figure out the build date of my EJ. Is pulling the neck still the only means of finding this out?

Dating an EJ Strat is particularly difficult. They are a picky lot but enjoy long evenings of blues and classic rock. Once in a while they will be happy with some county also. Before going on a date, the EJ strat enjoys lounging around at the luthier getting a complete setup and having its frets cleaned and groomed. Lubrication is extrememly important to a great date finale with an EJ Strat....oh wait, you meant date like a calendar date. Sorry, can't help you.
