A serial number alone tells jus about nothing of the authenticity of a guitar.

Your SN would fall into this category:
Quote:
This new scheme uses the letters “MX” as a prefix to designate an instrument made in Mexico, followed by an eight-digit number. The first two digits of the number identify the year of manufacture, (10 for 2010, 11 for 2011, etc.). The following six digits are the unit identifier, although it should be noted that these final six numbers are not sequential and do not provide any other identification information about the instrument. This new scheme is now used on the majority of Fender instruments made in Mexico, with certain exceptions.

SERIAL NUMBERS PRODUCTION DATES
“10” prefix followed by a space and eight digits - Late 2009 through approximately March 2010
MX10 + 6 digits - 2010-2011
MX11 + 6 digits - 2011-2012

Guitar Dater project hasn't yet caught up to Fender serial number formats used starting in 2010; it does contain all previous formats.

Also the site only verifies the format you key in fits a format that the various companies use; it can't verify a specific model.

Hi there,
What everyone else said and------

according to your serial number you should have- part number 014-8400-506
Blacktop Jazzmaster HS Rosewood fretboard in black, completed 8/10/2011 and sent to a distributor in Asia shortly thereafter.

All the best,
rob
