WHAT YEAR IS MY FENDER GUITAR?

Please check out our guide on Fender Guitar Dates below for more information.

You can check the date range by removing the neck of the guitar and checking the butt end of the neck heel for a stamped or written date. Another way to properly date Fender guitars is to check the components (pots, pickups, body dates). Fender neck plates were selected from large bins and it's difficult to properly date Fender's by neck plate alone. Please refer to an experienced guitar tech or luthier if you are not sure about doing so.
