Hi,

Can anyone advise me on the following with regards to a Fender Stratocaster?

1) Serial number 'CN702???' - does this mean it was made in 1997?
2) What does 'Custom Shop 7' mean?
3) Rough estimate on value? (The owner believes it to be worth approx $3000)

Many thanks :)

Could be a nineties custom shop CN but without a cert and some photos it could be anything. :D

Pictures would be helpful. Not having the COA will hurt the value greatly. These guitars are getting coppied every day, all-be-it not very good and easy to spot.

+1...Paris is right on here. Condition also plays a huge part in this along with originality.

Look fot other official photos of Custom Shop guitars from that time period. The Fender CS has use 3 different logos over the years. Look for consistency in guitars are the same model.
