Need more info - old Strat, relatively new Strat, any letters in front of the number, where was it made, etc. Photos would also help.

You're missing a digit - if it was a 5-digit serial number in the 20,000s it would be a 1958; this is a 6-digit number in the 200,000s so it should be circa 1967-1969. However, I want to know a bit more about the guitar from the OP; it could be any late-model Fender with a 200,000 number following a prefix and he has just not provided the prefix.

Plus if it is a 1967-1969 the I would love to see the photos. :mrgreen:

Actually that number would most likely be 1970's. However still a good year if it is indeed a USA Strat. Do want pics!

6 digits in the mid to high 200000s and a few 6 digits in the low 300000s - (1969)

6 digits in the high 200000s and low 300000s - (1970)

Could be either a '69 or '70, check the neck date, may look something like this: OCT 69

+1

My data base indicates a 1969 serial which *might* be consistent with the larger headstock decal (assuming the guitar is a bonafide Fender Strat).

(better pics would go a long way to authenticating the instrument)
