The Guitar Dater Project - Fender Serial Number Decoder. U.S. Instruments. For most of Fender’s U.S. instrument production history, production dates have been applied to various components.
Most notably, production dates have been penciled or stamped on the butt end of the heel of the neck of most guitars and basses, although there were periods when this was not consistently done (1973 to 1981, for example) or simply omitted. Neck-dating can be useful in determining the approximate age of a guitar, but it is certainly not definitive because the neck date simply refers to the date that the individual component was produced, rather than the complete instrument.
