dbramsey I just picked up a Fender Jazzmaster. Down on the lower part of the neck it says "Crafted in Japan" with the SN below that. The SN is Q02xxxx. Was this made in 1993-1994 or 2002-2004. Different sites say different things. Thanks,David
chunkachunka Q + 6 digits = 1993 - 1994Q + 5 digits = 2002 - 2004You can look it up on the Fender site in the support section.
chunkachunka Libtoem said: Its made between 2002-2004. Q + 5 digits means you don't add the zero. Also the "Crafted in Japan" term was only used after 1997. So 2002-04 it is.
