Yes, my Telecoustic has a serial number on the tag that you can see by looking into the sound hole.

My Telecoustic that was made in China has the following serial number:
CD03079286. Is it possible to tell when the guitar was manufactured from that number?

Based on a Squier Strat that I have that was made in China, it's serial starts with CY0610 - which is October 2006, I would say yours was made in July 2003.

Just an educated guess - I'm not an expert (and I don't play one on TV) :shock:

8) To determine when my Telecoustic was made, I had to Email Fender Service in Scottsdale AZ . After some misinformation I was Emailed saying it was made in June 2010 in China. Then Emailing me saying its suppose to have two letter C in front of the digits. My Serial is 100303xxx :roll:

Ive looked on the Fender web page under the section for finding the guitar dates , by using the Fender Serial numbers. But they dont list China, they list Japan, Mexico , USA . No China listing , yet they have plenty of guitars for many years made in China with a cheap labor force.

I like the fact that Fender spreads it around, Giving jobs to people in countries that might not have them, and giving a choice to their customers with a huge range of guitar models, Priced low to high. There, now everyone can own a guitar. 8)
