I have read that when the serial number starts with S9 and is followed by 5 numbers it means it's 79-81 and to get the actual date you need to look at the heel of the neck. The heel of mine is stamped "4212"

Does anyone know what that means? I am trying to sell this one and want to be as accurate as possible. Thanks!

Per the info on this page:

http://www.strat-central.com/70sstrats/

You would read the 4212 as:

42 = 42nd week

1 = 1981

2 = 2nd day of the week/Tuesday

Hope that helps.

And it was the 13th of Oct. 1981, missed my birthday by one day.

All the best,
Robin
