Fender Mij Serial Numbers

In March 1985, CBS sold Fender to a group of private investors. The serial numbers do not reflect this change - Fender continued to make instruments using existing serial number schemes. The new Fender did not acquire any physical assets of the old company, just the name 'Fender'. This means that the the serial numbers starting in 1994 ran consecutively on both the MIJ and the CIJ models while the MIJ logo was being phased out. Mid–1997 the CIJ logo was the only one used on Fender guitars coming out of Japan (with exception the Squire series). Dec 27, 2016  For fun I went online to check the serial number and none of the Fender date checkers recognize the serial.It's JD13013614. Can anybody decipher the number? I was thinking the J for Japan, D for Deluxe and the 13 meaning 2013, but I'm not sure.

    Fender was sold to CBS in January 1965. Serial numbering didn’t change immediately because instruments continued to be made using existing, tooling, parts and serial number schemes. The chart below details Fender serial number schemes used from 1965 to 1976. Notice that there is quite a bit of overlap in numbers and years.

    Since the mass production of the Telecaster in 1951, and the introduction of the Stratocaster in 1954, Fender has been one of the biggest names in guitarproduction. It is because of the reliability and versatility of these guitars Fender remains one of the largest guitar manufacturers to date.

    Since then Fender has released thousands of different electric guitars. They introduced new designs which grew to become wildly popular. The Fender Jazzmaster, Fender Jaguar and Fender Mustang had all been introduced by the mid-1960s and are still mass produced today.
