...mole... Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 http://www.rexc.com/services/datingfender.htmif its a U.S made model it was probably made in 1988 nice bargain you got there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Mice Posted December 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 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?

Graham Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Which pawn shop did you get it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Re frets for fenders are about 50ish as well I think...I seem to remember seeing that on the prosound poster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeC Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 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.
