1979 Fender Stratocaster

by Gordon
(San Jose, CA, USA)

1979 Fender Stratocaster

1979 Fender Stratocaster

This is what I believe to be a 1979 Fender Stratocaster, with serial number S954896. It is in perfect condition.
The case is not original, but it is a Fender case.

ANSWER

Hi, Gordon--

The serial number indicates that your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA in 1978 - 1981, so the 1979 date is probably correct.
