I found an amp at a store (used) and they said they couldn't tell me the year because they didn't know. I said check the serial number and they said they couldn't find the year by looking at the serial number. Is there any way of contacting Fender by e-mail? I hvae been to the site and couldn't find any e-mail links. Is there a site that tells serial numbers? The number is B-045190 for anyone who might know.

In 1973, Fender removed the 'Tail' from the logo. A push-pull pot was added to some amps in 1974. Therefore, if you have a push-pull pot, your amp is 1974 or newer. 1970-1989 -Most amps do not have a date code stamped on the tube location chart. These codes are for amps with the serial number beginning with a letter.

[QUOTE] Originally posted by Tele Master Thanks alot for the websites, but the serial number was the amp number, not a parts number. Apparently from site #1 (which I found the most info at) you can only date the amp by the serial numbers of parts.

I discovered this because the letter on the serial number I have, is a 1991 model. The amp with this serial number only came out in 1996. [/QUOTE] somewhere on fender's site should be a link to a site which has the info about all fender's amps and serial numbers. On fender's site as well you can find a link to their forums where, im sure, people will be able to help you. 'They think im crazy.

But i know better. It is not I who am crazy. It is I who am mad.'

I think that Hot Rod Red was called 'Torino Red' for a while; I suspect that Ford must have complained about the use of their model name 'Torino' so the name was changed. Same thing happened with the metallic green used on Clapton Strats - it was originally '7-up Green' since they matched the color of a 7-Up can; when 7-Up complained it became 'candy green' instead.

From what I've read the 'EE' serial numbers were supposed to mark these American Standards as 'Export' models and they were from that early Corona era.

That being said there is an inconsitency with your guitar - the neck plate is the later 'Fender Corona California' version that wasn't used on an American Standard until some time in mid to late 1999; one from the 'EE' time frame should have a neck plate with just 'Fender' on it at an upward angle in the same script as your headstock decal. I don't know if just the neck plate has been replaced or if the body was also replaced.

A 1987/88 American Standard should have the 'universal' or 'swimming pool' routing; if this is an American Series body (or even a 1999 American Standard body) it should have the HSH routing. The pickups are flat pole, which is consistent with the EE serial number era; does it have the TBX tone control (with a 'detent' at about '5') in the second tone control spot? If all of those things add up (swimming pool routed body, TBX tone control) then it is most likely that someone just had to replace the neck plate and got a recent one instead of a period correct one.

I think everything on your Strat adds up to a 1980s export only/EE serial number except the neck plate, which should look like this: However - you are going to have to take it apart to find any date stamps on the neck and body and remove the pickguard to see how it is routed. Quick additional question - are the polepieces on the pickups flat or are they staggered height? I though they were flat but looking at the photo again now I just can't quite tell.

Autocad Lt 2015 Serial Number And Product Key Crack. Colors change names a lot. I found this when choosing an original color to paint my Shelby Cobra kit.

In 65, it was called Rangoon Red. In 66, the same code was called Candy Apple Red. I worked with a pro painter to get my stuff and they had a 66 Mustang in Candy apple.

My Cobra painted 65 Rangoon was exactly the same. Mark Knopfler used a number of guitars. My avatar guitar was modelled after his maple neck 61 1/2 maple cap strat.

Fender's sig is modelled after his 61 rosewood strat. Both are hot rod red. He used a Schecter strat in candy apple red and I seem to remember seeing Fender use that color.but am not sure.

My guitar was Fender Torino red which is almost exactly the color it is now.it's been resprayed in flame red from duplicolor and cleared with minwax nitro. All of these colors are nearly identical to hot rod red. My research before choosing the duplicolor led me to believe that, anyways.

It's always hard to tell colors on line. The OPs guitar looks fiesta red to me.

I've taken pics of guitars to sell and had 5 pictures look 5 different colors.
