I recently purchased a used Modern Player Thinline Tele. It has the f-hole, MP90 pups and Les Paul style wiring/electronics. Serial number CGF1101354. Given that information, can anyone tell me the production date if this guitar.

PS-this guitar feels great and sounds really cool. Looks nice too.

The serial number already tells something; C (China), G (Grand Reward factory), F (Fender), 11 (2011ish).
The rest of the serial is the part identifying the individual guitar.

And that's about how far one gets - the Chinese models usually don't have a more precise date in the neck pocket or heel.

One suggestion: you can decide it was made on your birthday that year. :wink:

Thank you for the insight. I'm surprised that wasn't more readily available online. Thanks again!
