These serial numbers were used until 1997, when Fender stopped making guitars at the Sungham factory, but only starting with a V. So a CN2 guitar made by Cort in 1992 would have a serial number followed by five digits. A guitar made by Cort in 1992 would have a serial number of CN2 followed by five digits. Since Fender was using new plants to build their guitars, they decided to update the numbering scheme once more, this time to something more like the American guitars. Any early Korean serial numbers didn't have a lettered serial number at all. Young Chang produced guitars in 1987-1988, 1989-1988, but they didn't use a 7 or an 8 as the first number. You'd expect that after nearly 40 years of making guitars, Fender would have a standard serial number system down by now, right? The Korean Fender serial numbers are just as scattered and confusing as the majority of their guitars. About 1991, I have been using a Squier Stratocaster, which has the white body and the clear wooden handle.
