Well the basics of Japanese Fender serial numbers works similar to the american series of the time.

S=Seventies
E=Eighties
N=Nineties
Z=New Millenium

so for instance:

E3xxxxxx = 1983 model
N5xxxxxx= 1995 model

See the trend? I don't know that much about Fender's amp serial numbers though. sweatdrop

Yarr. If your guitar is 13 years old, the serial should read N3xxxxxx or something like that (I'm not keen on the number of digits actually in a Fender serial number - the one on my Tele seeems to have more numbers than usual).

Tell us the letter and the first digit immediately after the letter and we can tell you what year it was made.

Hey now, no need to get offensive here, we're all friends here!

Yeah, sorry. I agree on the offensiveness too. No need to get rude about things.
