Several years ago I purchased a used Fender Stratocaster for my son because he wanted to play guitar. I have a black fender that has silver diamond plate on the front and a natural colored neck and black top where the adjusters are. It's a really pretty guitar that hasn't been played. It also says "special edition" on the back with a code of MZ4103237 on it. I did figure out on Fender.com that it was produced in 2004/2005 but the product catalog for that year is not available on the website.

What I'm trying to find out is what kind of special edition it is. I can't figure out how to upload images here but would send images to anybody who asks to help in determining the type of guitar, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

With the matching headstock, looks like a 2004-2005 Fender Special Edition Stratocaster - Black and Chrome. It was a Factory Special Run (Fancy term for Special Edition), made in Mexico.

I think it came with a Fender Atomic Humbucker.

Nice Guitar!

Here's one on ebay calling itself the special edition 60 years of Fender strat.
I believe the 60 years of Fender is because it's an '06 and sports the medalion.
The special edition I believe is account of the painted headstock (among other things).

Fender also made a 'Big Block' Stratocaster in '05 that looked identical to yours... however it was aptly named for its white pearloid block inlays vs. the dots that yours has.

Squier now makes the Black and Chrome strats, only it has a smooth pickguard vs. the diamondplate yours has.
