I just got this new stratocaster and all the serials number I saw did not have one starting with a Z like mine. Serial Number is Z9558076 and it have the big headstock. I think is an American Standard but no sure. I think have the texas pick up if I was told right.

Please let me know.
thanks

You going to have to give us more info than that. Does it have 22 frets? If so, it sounds like an American Special. Color, Tremalo (six screw or two point type), would go a long way in helping us to help you.

The Z9 serial number would put the guitar as a 2009/2010 U.S. made guitar.

Either post some pics or send as much info as possible to consumerrelations@fender.com

Like T2 says photos would be helpful. I can say that if it has a large headstock then it would not be an American Standard; it could be a Highway 1 or a very early American Special. American Specials they were introduced at the January 2010 trade show but the first were built in late 2009 so they would be ready to ship; these first ones have the "Z9" serial numbers.

I dont know how to put some pictures

Its have six screws tremolo, sunburst color. big head stock 3 singles coils. 22 frets.

It is the American Special model Thanks for guidance and the help.

If it's an American Special, it normally should have Texas Specials. HWY1s use AlNiCO IIIs.

It is most likely an American Special assuming it has a maple fingerboard. It could also be a Highway 1 as they also came in sunburst. If it has a glossy finished body and a 2-color sunburst then it is an American Special. If it has a matte finish body and a 3-color sunburst then it is a Highway 1. If it has a rosewood fingerboard and 3 single coils it has to be a Highway 1 as the 3 single coil American Specials only come with maple fingerboards (that is unless it has been modified somewhere down the line).
