Hello everybody!

is it possible to know the exact model of a Fender Stratocaster made in Mexico by the manufacturing number? Mine is MZ8273649 but I can not see how to see this information.

Thanks in advance.

The serial number is mainly useful in product dating (that MZ8 + 6 digits dates the guitar to 2008-2009).
The Fender Consumer Relations usually can give the general mode info on US models, not sure how comprehensive the Mexican data is.

But there is one sure way to identify the guitar: post pics (full front and back, details of the headstock, neck heel and pocket etc.) on this forum, and you will get answers from many gurus. (Bless 'em all.)

Thank you for your advise.
I'm posting some photos that I already had of the guitar just in case any guru could help me knowing the exact model of the guitar. If any other photo is required let me know.

Thank you again!

Your number is the serial number not the model number that looks like xxx-xxxx-xxx. As previously stated the MZ8 refers to Mexico in either 2008/2009.

Email consumerrelations@fender.com with the serial number and they will reply with the spec including the model name of your strat.

In the guitar I just see the serial number that I've posted before. Is there any other way to know the model then?

If you got the hang tags with the Strat the model number will be on the inpection tag. It might also be on one of the bar code stickers found inside the guitar if you take it apart.

Finally!!! After hours and hours looking for it I found it. The model according to the number that I found in a label is Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS Candy Apple Guitar.

Thanks everybody for the help!
