Picked up a beautiful Candy Apple Red Classic 60s Tele (with the "F" Bigsby) from my local pawn shop and am trying to narrow down the mfr. date from the serial # on the body end of the neck. Problem is, this site (and others) refer to these models with different values than mine shows. The reference material indicates a letter plus 5 digits for these "Crafted in Japan" models, but mine reads Q044817. Any help?

Hello there!

Have you checked out www.guitardaterproject.org?

Oh, and I almost forgot: Welcome! :)

Déjà vu all over again... :wink:

I want to welcome both of you to the forum. I don't recall ever seeing a member from Finland before. Cool! 8) I see you've been a member since 08 music4ever. You need to post more! :wink:

Well, thank you fhopkins! :)
That was nice of you!

Yes, that´s correct, I "found" this forum last year and posted some questions about my MIA topload Telecaster. But I haven´t posted very much here. Most of the time here I read and learn as much as I can... And I have to say, even though I´ve been playing guitar for more than 35 years, I´ve learned more about guitars this last year than I did prior to my time here!

(I hope I got that last sentence right, I´m not used to write in English... )

Perfect my friend! Looking forward to hearing about those 35 years so I can learn! :)

Oh and btw, the GAS I´ve read about here has spread all the way up here, too.... ;)
I got my third Fender within a year last week! :) My latest one is a Blue Flower Telecaster (CIJ), so that proves my age I guess... ;)
