i asked this question on a forum years and years ago, and someone had an answer for me. i've since forgotten the answer!

i bought a '62 Reissue Fender Strat new in 1999. it's Sherwood Green. it's USA made, serial number V115703. the receipt reads: "Fender 010 0100 546 '62 Strat Upgrade".

what exactly does the "Upgrade" indicate?

If you post some pics of the instrument it might be possible that one or more forum members could spot anything that appears to be non-standard and give you an answer......

Fender did revamp the AV line some time in 1998; could be the receipt just refers to this being the then-new version. Sherwood green was a new color for that revision; that's also when they got the 12th-fret spacing right and when they started beveling the polepieces, etc.
