I can't find a single Fender serial number that starts with VO. How about some pics and maybe the date shown on the butt end of the neck?

Maybe it's not VO, but V0 ... didn't the 57 and 62 Reissues' serial numbers start with a V?

According to the US instruments serial number list

http://www.fender.com/support/usa_instruments.php

Anything with a V followed by 4 to 6 numbers was a vintage series model that started being made in 1982 and followed on untill current.

A quote from the list.

Quote:
1982 saw the introduction of the U.S. Vintage Series instruments and "V"-prefix serial numbers. The only way to definitively date U.S. instruments with "V"-prefix serial numbers is to remove the neck and check the butt end of the neck heel for a production date, which may be stamped or written there.


Is that what you guys are looking for?
