Although the tables below are as accurate as possible, serial numbers of these acoustic guitars have never been archived and are of no assistance when attempting to date. Unfortunately, our records are not complete enough to provide precise dating information for many Fender acoustic guitars from the early 1960s through the 1970s and 1980s. If it is after 1975, it is an Asian guitar. If the date stamped is before 1975, it is most likely an American-made guitar. The number would be the last two digits of the year the guitar was made, such as 19 in this example.
