For these years, there was also a "traditional stratocaster" which had the black Fender lettering with nothing on the ball of the headstock. The Fender MIM "squier series" was a 96, 97 only and carried a black lettered Fender name. Now, they are the same guitar parts wise, but there were different marketing identies. There is also a Squier series, which is a mim Fender guitar and the "squier series" is in very small letters on the ball of the headstock instead of "original contour body". There is a Squier branded guitar with both Fender and Squier labels. from my understanding prices up in Alaska are often slightly higher (high shipping costs for goods up there, less competition, etc), so if you paid $25 more here and there, you may not have done too bad up there. These prices are based on the Austin, TX area. These did not normally come with a case, and if its in good condition it may be worth an additional $25-$50, especially since its a Fender branded case. And given that MIM Fender Standards are selling in the $150-$250 range these days DO NOT pay too much for one of the lesser models, a "real" Fender is always going to be worth more at resale. Watch out for people with the "Squier Series" part of the logo sanded off trying to pass off these lesser models as an MIM Fender Standard. Values are typically in the $75-$125 range for a Squier, and maybe $100 up to $150 for a nice Fender labeled one. less select wood with more pieces in it usually, and as I said, cheaper parts. They are both cheapened versions of the MIM Standard. They are actually very similar in quality, with the Fender labeled guitar being only very slightly better in quality (slightly more select wood, and usually marginally better fit and finish, but basically the same cheaper grade of hardware, pickups and electronics). it is a Mexican "Squier by Fender" (if Squier is the big name in the decal) or "Fender Squier Series" (if Fender is the big name in the decal). Note: A new Japanese vendor was enlisted in 2010 to help meet demand for the Geddy Lee and Marcus Miller Jazz Bass models.This is correct. This was a running change, and both “Made in Japan” and “Crafted in Japan” decals appear on instruments from 20.

Crafted in Japan A + 6 digitsĢ007 was another transitional year for Japanese-made Fender instruments, with the return to the “Made in Japan” country-of-origin identifier on the serial number decal. In 1997, Fender transitioned to a serial number decal that included the words “Crafted in Japan” above the serial number.

As always, serial numbers should only be used as a guide for dating and should be used in combination with known age-related specifications to help identify the production year of an instrument. Records on early Japanese-made Fender instruments are not complete and are therefore not completely definitive for dating purposes.
I don't know how that Asher T Deluxe got in the picture but you can guess how it became part of my collection.
What does that mean? When were they made? The good folks at Fender compiled a list to guide us in the general build dates of these cool instruments. That is the third Orange Tabby I have lived with named Sherman and anyone who has ever talked to me about guitars quickly learns that I have a collection of red "E series" Made in Japan Fender Telecasters. Take a look at the picture taken in my sauna and you will notice I am a creature of habit.
