That last thought might seem odd, but it’s true. Neither happened overnight, as both had been in the works for at least a few years, and neither had anything whatsoever to do with the other. I found it to be mostly correct so it’s great for a fast lookup, especially if you don’t have the serial number handy.Toward the end of 1959, with the 1960s fast approaching, a bright future for both rock ‘n’ roll and the Fender Stratocaster seemed far from assured.īoth had arrived in the middle of the 1950s at roughly the same time-the Stratocaster in 1954 and rock ‘n’ roll in 1955. Lastly, here’s a website (with Ads) that lets to more easily peruse things like which models came out in which years and their specs. You’ll see 70’s pickguards, etc for sale, how do you prove they are what they are? Mostly impossible so keep that in mind when you pay a fortune for a part of Stratocaster that’s supposed to be older than moses. NOTE: OLDER Stratocaster are notoriously easy to fake. Here’s a BARE BONES lookup which might be helpful if fender doesn’t have the info: Guitar Insite – Serial number lookup Other websites might be scam ones so I’d focus on using Guitar Insite or the Fender Website. Pickups are not a good reference because they are easily changed, and Noiseless ones (the vintage) are a favorite forgery target (check bottom of pickup). The other defining features are headstock shape, location of the decals, font of the serial number, truss rod hole (big indicator). It could be a forgery (less likely if the serial is correct). Keep in mind, when trying to figure out your Stratocaster pay attention to the features that came out the year it was released.
It’s not perfect but it’s mostly awesome! Fender Spec Sheet Serial Number Lookupįender also lets you register you guitar which tells you (Most of the time) if it exists but does not give you any specifications at all other than the “catalog” description in a one liner. Here is Fenders “new” lookup page which will give you detail specs on a given model.
