Dating (no, not in that sense) A Fender Serial #?
Well, I'm thinking about buying a Fender Strat from my brother's friend, let's call him "Chris". Now, "Chris" comes from a really musical family, and he recently was given a guitar from his friend, Quentin. Now, I'm told that this strat has once belonged to Jimi Hendrix. Well, I don't really care about all of that, but I just want to buy it because, well, you guessed it, it's a genuine strat. So I asked him to give me a couple of pictures and the serial number, but I can't really decode the serial number. I'm pretty sure it's MIM though. (Made in Mexico.) Here's the serial: MS4225425. Now, in the picture, it is kind of messed up, due to a small ding, so the S can be anything. But I am 100% sure of the rest of the digits/letter(s). Well, I'm gonna go now, my thumbs are tired... +rep to whoever (or whom? I always get that mixed up.) helps me!
