I'm looking at a 2009 Daphne Blue Strat with a matching headstock. Supposedly there were only 500 made. Is there any way to verify this? Thanks!!

Doubtful, where did you hear that? Only they would confirm this: consumerrelations@fender.com

I know that some of the painted/matching headstocks were only for special limited runs, but not sure which ones.

Follow atolleter's advice.

Aren't most FSR's 500 units?

I think 500 is a pretty standard number, though there could be 500 of each color offered in a Factory Special Run. I don't know how many of these were made, but I have never seen another... I know they were available very briefly in red, amber and one other color, blue or green, I think. Yes, I know this is a Tele.

This FlameStrat was a very limited run of only 250, ordered by a Canadian distributor, the production number verified by Fender. I found this one in our local GC, traded in the day before and immediately purchased by me - in ner perfect condition, an absolute steal at $260!

Yep, buy them all and count them.
