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.

is it MIJ, or CIJ? does it have the stickers on the back of the headstock?

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:

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

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.

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.
