There is a guy selling a 1989 USA Strat. The neck plate is blank. I took it apart and there is writing in black sharpie on the neck "Oct 28 R". On the body is written in red pen, "Oct-10 90". Also with writing in black sparpie, "S" with a circle around it and other undecipherable writing. Maybe you can take the neck off of yours and see if it has dating markings. This can probably be a safe way to validate the authenticity of each other's guitars? Email and I will send lots of pictures.
email rodney_perez@tnb.com for pictures.
Question:
1) When did Fender USA start installing the neck plate with the small hole to adjust the pitch of the neck?
2) Why did Fender offer some USA strat neck plates blank and the pitch non adjustable and some neck plates with the Fender logo with adjustable pitch in the same year? Or did they?
