Just found a wee bargain in the Aberdeen Pawn Shop

Cream coloured Fender Strat - S/N = E837479

Any ideas how I can find out how old it is?

Cost £50 btw

if its a U.S made model it was probably made in 1988 nice bargain you got there

Ta Mole,

Jap unfortunately.

Seeming made between 1984 and 1987.
looks a lot older tho - Klusion tuners etc and some of the frets are well worn.

How much you reckon it would be to re-fret?

[imprinted]

still fifty quid for a strat aint to be sniffed at!

[Liquid Mice]

they have a Kramer for 150 quid, epiphone PRS type guitar for about the same and a few others in the window

You can't date a guitar, but you can date girls!! Ha ha!!

Seriously though, sounds like you got a bargain! Nice one!!!

Which pawn shop did you get it from?

Re frets for fenders are about £50ish as well I think...I seem to remember seeing that on the prosound poster?

Im pretty sure its an 88/89 but the date should be stamped on the end of the neck, next time you change the strings take the neck off and check.
But I cant see why its so important, its not like it has any vintage value.
If its a nice guitar just appreciate it for that.
