Please note that fender serial numbers tend to overlap by at least a year, and thereby the date of your guitar can only be approximated.

The Fender serial number decoder currently supports all documented MIA, MIJ, MIM, MIK and MII formats with the exception of Custom Shop, Relic and Reissue instruments.Most will be 5 to 6 digits in length, but the earliest examples feature 4 digit serial numbers.

There are always exceptions to these rules, the two listed below are worth noting: Les Paul Classic 1989-2014: This model features an ink stamped serial number with no "MADE IN USA" (just as we used on the original 1952-1960 Les Pauls).Also, if your guitar has been modified from it's original state, our identification tool may fail to identify your model To begin identifying your guitar, select one or more identifying characteristics, and then click the submit button at the bottom of the form.

(Before the serial number you'll see one or two letters these indicate.
