Hi, just curious. I purchased used from a consignment shop in Feb 1991. No paperwork or case were included. Recently, while working on it, my guitar tech removed the neck and we noted it was stamped June 13, 1990. It has Seymour Duncan pickups; I assume were installed by prior owner. It has the generic S/N 10558 stamped on the saddle, confirming it was a 1988-present model.

Can anyone tell me where these were built? USA, Custom Shop, Mexico, Japan? Besides being a reissue, are there any unique details about this model? Thanks.

Your guitar was made in sunny California by Fender. It is generaly considered to be built on the date stamped/written on the neck. These USA Vintage reissues are considered well built and have a very good vintage type of tone.

The pickups were definately changed at some point as Seymour Duncans were not standard on these guitars. The US Vintage guitars all have Nitro Cellulous Laquer finishes and tend to age similar to the guitars they are meant to emulate. Enjoy the guitar.
