Not sure if they are still making these. I just picked one up, SN HR000670, and figure it is probably a 2013 or 2014, but could be a few years old or more I guess, and sitting in Wilcutt's for awhile. Anyone know how to date this more accurately?

Btw, this is a great sounding axe, and compares favorably tonally to my actual '62, but I prefer the action on this new one.

I also posted this on your Strat-Talk thread:

These were recently discontinued by Fender; they were made from roughly September/October 2013 until November 2014 so they aren't all that old.

You can email the serial number to Fender at consumerrelations@fender.com; they can tell you when it was completed and shipped out to Willcutt's.

I emailed them the S/N but with a typo - doh! So, the answer is still pending, but sounds like it'd have to be a 2013.
