korean squier stratocaster serial numbers

Some Squier II's were made in India around 1989-1990.Ī lot of the Squier II's had a plywood body. The S and E Squires seem to be from the late 1980's/early 1990's and don't seem to have a reliable serial number system for dating. Squier II's could not possibly have been assembled before 1987/88, as these represent the transition to Indian and then Korean production, and all the ramifications of such (the serial numbers can be off by years for these particular axes, and neck dates may also be misleading). Six-digit serial numbers with no preceding letters, with the first number being the year. So, post-1996 models only would have this form of serial number. The KC and KV forms are apparently associated with the change to Crafted in Korea. There were also some KV (Korean Saehan(Sunghan)) serial numbers followed by 2-digit year.

Stagemaster Deluxe (neck-thru maple necks with basswood wings), and the Double Fat Tele Deluxe (all solid mahogany with set necks), with serial numbers starting with KC for Korean Cort, followed by 2-digit year. Pro-Tone Series (solid ash bodies) had serial numbers with either a) no preceding letters and 7 digits, with the first number being the year, or b) starting with KC for Korean Cort, followed by 2-digit year. So, for example 'CN6' = made by Cort in 1996 and 'VN6' = made by Saehan(Sunghan) in 1996. And the first number following is the year. The second character refers to the decade: N represents Nineties (1990's).

Those made by Cort are the most desirable. USA Squires are very rare and usually have a E serial number and were made for less than a year spanning 19.Ĭ refers to Cort, V refers to Saehan(Sunghan), S was already taken by Samick so Saehan(Sunghan) used V instead (Saehan(Sunghan) made the Vester guitars). So, for example 'MN8' = made by Fender at Ensenada Mexico in 1998. M stands for Mexico, the second character refers to the decade: N represents Nineties (1990's). The Japanese MIJ Squiers were made by FujiGen up to 1997 and the Japanese CIJ Squiers were made by Tokai and Dyna from 1997.
