Fender Strat serial number database?

Anyone know of a URL of a Fender database that tracks serial numbers of strats? I'm trying to help a relative determine if his "American" strat was made in Mexico or not. I thought perhaps the number would indicate its source of origin.

i have a fender stratocaster whit serial number n1017024 want to know the value

Hi Leonardo, welcome to the forum I hope you will like it here.

I think this is a 1992 stratocaster and around %575-900 -
however perhaps another member can give you a more accurate number.

Fender.com has a decent s/n lookup function too.

Value of used Fenders is based on condition (unless it is real old). A good place to check value is on eBay. Just see what they are selling for. In good condition, a US made strat that is 10 years old or so should bring $500-700.

Mexican Fender serial numbers usually start with the letter M. But check out Fender.com to be sure.

Hi Slash.

Hey TulsaWayne How you're doing?

I am doing well , thanks for asking. I hope you are too, Been pretty busy here lately as our new band is starting to do some local shows and being well received. Once we get our site cleaned up, I'll be posting a link for y'all.

Hello!

I“m about to buy a fender strat and i want some info about it, but when i click on the link to serial number data base it asks for a login?
If anyone can check this serial number for me: n7261554 that would be fantastic!

What model and when it was manufactured.

hey, i have a mexican 50's reissue strat i bought in in 2002 or 2003. i determined this by the serial number beginning with MZ2. I was just wondering what specific year this was modeled after? right now i'm guessing it's '54. can anyone confirm or deny this? thanks.

naworffoeg welcome to the forum

Same goes for you.

I don't think a more reliable source is available than the one of the manufacturer itself

Hey I'm new, just wondering how much 1996 American Strat #N503253 would be worth on something like ebay...

Black, stock pickups, rosewood, still nice and shiny. Any input appreciated - Thanks!

Gavin

Ohw, that's a difficult one, Gavin. Do you have more on that guitar?

what kind of info? can I post a pic?

Yes sure you can. Just remember that pix should be under 500 pixels in size.

huh - i'm having a helluva time posting a pic - it won't show up in the preview

Gavin, upload it and make sure it doesn't exceed 500 pixels. As long as it gets along these guidelines it will upload.

Gavin, that's a beautiful guitar I found a discussion about a 1996 American Strat HERE, on Ebay (please click), in where the price of $600 was mentioned as a 'good-low price". Perhaps this gives you some indication

Thanks for all your input - I was thinking of selling but now my gut kinda tells me "don't do it!"

I think you should follow your guts It's a beautiful guitar

Try this, hope it helps it helped me

I have a 1987 American stratocaster. My brother paid $800.00 new. Does anyone know what I should sell it for. It was given to me in 1989 and has been played approximently 40 hours if that much.

Hi all, just joined when I was researching the serial numbers for Mexican made strats. I'm about to sell one and want to describe the age accurately and hopefully I will buy a 84 SG tomorrow, hell of a deal, I still love Fenders but....love AC/DC too. One day I will have a guitar collection, for me that means more than one!
