Fernandes serial number4/11/2023 There may be some hints under the pick-ups too.there are articles on p`ups in my books as well. By sometime in the 90s the altered headstock showed up, and those came with a large silver/white sticker on the back of the headstock with the serial, easily removed or lost. My Japan Vintage series of books show 80s Fernandes strats with neckplate serials with the first digit being the year, the letter of the alphabet being the month.A=January etc etc. Not all Revivals were of the same level of quality, the higher up in the pecking order the better the wood and parts. The answeres you want may be in the pocket or cavities of the guitar, might be worth taking a few minutes to look. That altered headstock appears in that catalog with the gold colored headstock logo but not that model, which may have been an export so it probably wouldn`t be in domestic catalogs. Otherwise you get people guessing all over the map.stopped making strats? Not that I`m aware of `cause they`re still listed in my catalogs going back to 1995. It`s the first thing I do every time I get a used MIJ guitar, firstly to clean it and to take pics of the insides in case I ever resell it, buyers generally want as much info as a seller can provide. I wonder if you`ve taken the pickguard off yet, or looked in the neck pocket for markings of some kind, same thing I suggested in the other thread on this guitar at another site.
