Brent,
Early Fender Guitars (50's & 60's era) had Serial numbers that you had to research to find the production year... Although you can remove the neck and check for the build date on the butt in of the neck & also in the neck pocket of the body.

Starting iin the 1970's the serial # will start with an "S" for 70's then the 1st number will be the year of that decade (So, # S8******** would be a 1978 model, and so forth)....
Same the 80's and 90's... Except you will have an "E" or an "N"..

Starting in 2000 an "X" was used....

Hope this helps!

RZ
