I own a 1992 Stratocaster '62 Re-issue, finished in the 3-color sunburst. My question is this; were they painting those in nitro back in 1992, or did they start doing that later on? Does anyone know when they began using nitro on the re-issue Stratocasters?

It's just a guess, but I'd say 1992 would be a poly finish.

The 1962 Fender strat reissue was introduced in 1998.

Are you sure you have the date of manufacture correct?

You may need to double check the serial number and verify the date of production.

The 1962 Vintage Reissue came out in 1982, not 1998. Check out:
