Hi guys,

Joe here from Stockton-On-Tees, England, new member and 31 years old. I have been playing for 23 years huge hendrix and clapton fan!!

My dad bought this for me in 1996 from our local music store called "Bandland". To my knowledge it is a crafted in Japan 1996 57' reissue candy apple red strat SERIAL NO#V028824. I cant seem to find any further research on the serial number and I would love to know if anyone can help me with additional info on it (where it was built etc.... )

Joseph Lawson.

Hello and welcome next door of Europe!
Beautiful guitar, 54 model perhaps?

Hi Joe

The serial number dates it to 1996/97 http://www.fender.com/en-GB/support/art ... ct-dating/

The MiJ and CiJ thing has changed a few times http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Japan

The Japanese guitars have occasionally got it wrong in the detail stakes - the string retainer on yours is is wrong for a '57, as it should be of the butterfly type.

It's a nice looking guitar you have there!
