Jagstangs with Q serial numbers

Post by murdok »

Are all Q series Jagstangs reissues from the 2000's? saw a Q which the seller reckons is from 96

I thought only the originals were T, U, V & A serial numbers.

Made in Japan Q + 6 digits 1993-1994

Crafted in Japan Q + 5 digits 2002-2004

He's probably just counted the amount of numbers incorrectly... I did when I first tried to date my Jag.

robroe... didn't you get your Jagstang Xmas '94 ? What's the serial number on that ?

Goddammit. If you don't know the correct info don't post it as truth. That goes for you too, Robroe.

From Fender:
SERIAL NUMBERS CIRCA
JV + 5 digits 1982-1984
SQ + 5 digits 1983-1984
E + 6 digits 1984-1987
A + 6 digits 1985-1986
B + 6 digits 1985-1986
C + 6 digits 1985-1986
F + 6 digits 1986-1987
G + 6 digits 1987-1988
H + 6 digits 1988-1989
I + 6 digits 1989-1990
J + 6 digits 1989-1990
K + 6 digits 1990-1991
L + 6 digits 1991-1992
M + 6 digits 1992-1993
N + 6 digits 1993-1994
O + 6 digits 1993-1994
P + 6 digits 1993-1994
Q + 6 digits 1993-1994
S + 6 digits 1994-1995
T + 6 digits 1994-1995
U + 6 digits 1995-1996
N + 5 digits 1995-1996
V + 6 digits 1996-1997
In 1997, Fender transitioned to a serial number decal that included the words “Crafted in Japan� above the serial number.

Crafted in Japan A + 6 digits
1997-1998
Crafted in Japan O + 6 digits 1997-2000
Crafted in Japan P + 6 digits 1999-2002
Crafted in Japan Q + 6 digits 2002-2004
Crafted in Japan R + 6 digits 2004-2005
Crafted in Japan S + 6 digits 2006-2008
Crafted in Japan T + 6 digits 2007-2008
A Q will have 6 digits no matter what. It depends on if it's CIJ or MIJ. That's it. It's either 93-94, or 02-04.

what I wrote is what you wrote without 26 lines of buuuuullllshit
T is 94
U is 95
V is 96
A is 97


the N + 5 digits you got crammed in the middle of all that shit is for special factory run stuff. you didn't see alot of N SN's from 95.


I got my jagstang for christmas in 1994. it is a T serial

Yes, then you said "fuck Q. that guy don't know shit".

Q comes before T. Guitars that came out in 94 also had Q serial numbers. Get your shit in one sock, rob.
