    Seventies stratocaster #000001

    There is a 25th Anniversary Stratocaster (1979) with the serial 000001.
    Is there another Fender Stratocaster of the Seventies #000001? I seem to see it on a book, maybe "Guitar Identification" by Andre Duchossoir.
    Someone can give me some infomation about it?

    And other Seventies Fender guitar #000001?

    Thank you,
    Marco

    If its a true 25th anniv it should start with 25.

    Other Fender Serial Number Schemes.
    Fender has recently (in the last 20 years) introduced LOTS of different serial numbers schemes, depending on the country the Fender was made (USA, Mexico, Japan, Korea, etc). Not all schemes are covered here! Sorry, since I do not collect new Fenders, I don't really keep track of these things. Below are some examples of letter prefixes used in recent serial number schemes.
    V : this prefix used for US made "vintage reissue" models, 1982 to present.
    25 + 4 digits : 1979 to 1980 Anniversary Stratocaster.
    AMXN : "AMX" means assembled in Mexico with American parts,
    "N" is the decade (1990s).
    MN : "M" means Mexican made, "N" is the decade (1990s).
    C : this prefix used in 1982.
    D : this prefix used in late 1981 to early 1982.
    GO : this prefix used in the early 1980s.
    SE : this prefix means a Signature Edition, 1982 to present.
    4 digit decal on back of peghead: custom order model 1987 to present
