The Serial Number Problem The difficulty in determing where your SRV Strat fits into the production line lies in the fact that Fender serial numbering, apparently, has only to do with internal stock control and not particular dates of manufacture. Uchebnik bankovskie riski valencia 2013 youtube.

/ / ZAKGUY USA May 29th, 2004 01:42 PM Is there any way that I can date my Stevie Ray Vaughan Strat by the serial number? Doesn anyone know how I can do this? Fsrstratman USA Arm the Homeless May 29th, 2004 04:00 PM It should have an SE, SN, or SZ. The SE is on the early SRV's and usually start out SE9******.normally, this would be an '89, but they didn't start making the SRV Strats until '92. Finding the year is really simple: If it is an SN, the 'S' means Signature, the 'N' means Ninty, and the first number after the 'N' is the last number of the year (i.e. If the first three of the serial are SN7, it's a '97). The same follows with the 'Z' after the 'S'.

The 'S' means the same thing, the 'Z' means 200- and the first number of the serial is the last number of the year (i.e. SZ2 is a 2002). This is a way to date your SRV Strat along with alot of other American Signature models (not including the CS Signatures or Mexican Signatures like the Jimmie Vaughan or the Robert Cray).

This dating method also works for American Standard/American Series (No 'S'; just starts with either a 'N' or a 'Z'), the American Deluxe (The 'D' replaces the 'S'; 'DN' or 'DZ') and Standard Series ('M' is in front of your 'N' or 'Z'; 'MN' or 'MZ'). As a side note, if you want a better way to pinpoint the date, take off the neck. Usually there is either a sticker or a stamp (sometimes hand written) with a date format of MMDDYY. Here, I'm not real sure how the SRV's neck would have it, but I'm almost postitive that it's there on the bottom of the neck where the neck meets the body. ZAKGUY USA May 29th, 2004 06:21 PM Thanks for that information, that is exactly what I needed. RaffBluz USA Jun 6th, 2004 02:10 AM Because there is crossover between years on the serial number approach, the only really accurate way is to pull the neck and check the dates on it and the body.

Up for sale is a 2010 Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster. I’m using the serial number to date this guitar because I can’t remember when I purchased it.

I do know that I bought it new and that I’m the only owner, if that matters to anybody. This guitar has no issues performance wise.

It has minor scratches on the pickguard, the tremolo plastic cover and the neck bolt on plate. These are the type of scuffs you will put on the plastic and neck plate after about a month of playing generally. There are a few small pits in the body that do not penetrate the finish and that I actually had to look for them to photograph. I say “a few” pits to be safe but honestly I only located two when photographing. The last negative about this guitar is the fact that I wrote “SRV” on the case because I have so many guitars in tweed cases and I like keeping them with the right case. I never planned on selling it so I guess that’s why I marked on the case.

But hey, at this price I don’t think that’s gonna matter much when a new case just like this one is a little over a hundred bucks. The case is the standard G&G case offered with the higher level Fender guitars. If you know anything about the SRV Strats you will have an understanding about what a gem this is.

When I sell a guitar I tend to spend more time highlighting the negatives because I like to be as honest with a potential buyer. Here is the basic rundown about the guitar that makes it a special American made Strat; hefty neck, jumbo frets, vintage tuners, gold hardware, left handed tremolo set up, pao ferro fretboard and Texas Special Pickups.
