I have a black Strat which has a 76 serial no under the scratch plate but no serial no anywhere on the neck - here are photos of the neck pocket and neck heel - if anyone can decipher these markings I'd be most appreciative!

Hope someone can help!
Thanks,
Peter

you should probably remove your ebay listing. not sure if your intention is to draw attention to your ad, but selling is not allowed here.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4

Don't mean to jump on ya, but we get a lot of 1 time posters with questions about a guitar with an ad to sell. If you want some info, post your pics, but I would recommend you remove the ebay link, you may be better recieved.

...Which leaves me none the wiser. I'm not hot on mid-'70s markings. Someone else?

Hi Peter,

Neck date is Thursday, in 1976.
Can´t make out the first number. Second is a 2 - week is x2, most probably 32.
That would date the neck to Thursday, August 5th, 1976.

All the best,
Robin

hmmm, should that have its serial number on the headstock?

No serial number on the neck plate?

No there's no serial no on headstock - only what you see in the photos

Yeah, probably a 22 then? either way one of the last ones having the serial on the plate.
I like those ´76 somehow. Strange kind of combinations and some rare things happened at Fender in that year esp. with the Stratocaster.

All the best,
Robin
