Question:
Is there a web resource anywhere for dating Fender guitars and basses? I checked out Fender's own site but, apart from its slick graphics, the site has little in the way of solid information (or maybe I'm just not navigating it properly!).
Answer:
The Mr Gearhead pages that you can link to from the Fender site have a reasonably comprehensive list on 2 pages, one for MIJ guitars and one for US guitars. The last time I looked no information there on MIM guitars but they seem to follow the same convention as the later US guitars with an added M-prefix (i.e. MN9..... is a Mexican guitar made in 1999). The list on the Fender website is incomplete for some of the limited production runs but you should find more complete lists with any decent search engine
