Squire Standard Serial Numbers | Squier-Talk Forum
February 9, 2012 - But on looking up serial number on Google I came across this. Indonesian Squiers IC: I = Indonesia, C = Cor-Tek (Cort), the serial number prefix is followed by a 2 number year. IS: I = Indonesia, S = Samick, the serial number prefix is followed by a 2 number year.

r/fender on Reddit: I think there is something weird about my squier Strat (pls help)
February 22, 2021 - The serial number makes sense. ICS (“Crafted in Indonesia”) – The first 2 numbers following the prefix is the year. 8 or 9-digit number. In 2009-10 some Indonesian Squier's had the prefix ICS09XXXXX and ICS10XXXXX.

I think there is something weird about my squier Strat (pls help)
Nothing about that looks out of the ordinary. The serial number makes sense. ICS (“Crafted in Indonesia”) – The first 2 numbers following the prefix is the year. 8 or 9-digit number. In 2009-10 some Indonesian Squier's had the prefix ICS09XXXXX and ICS10XXXXX. Usually the S in ICS designates a Factory Special Run or FSR guitar manufactured by Cor-Tek in Indonesia. So this one is a Indonesian model made in 2020. The markings look right. The pickups and body look right. The headstock looks right. Nothing to worry about here homie. Also most people don’t fake Squier package guitars. These are as mass produced as it gets while still being a playable instrument. People would have to be insane to make fake student model squiers. You’re fine. Enjoy the guitar homie! More on reddit.com

Help identifying a serial number?
Indonesian Serial Number Squiers “Crafted in Indonesia”: Squier serial number IC – I = Indonesia, C = Cor-Tek (Cort), 8 or 9-cijfers. Serial number ICS – I = Indonesia, C = Cor-Tek (Cort), S = Squier, 8 or 7 digits. In 2009 and 2010, some Indonesian guitars had an ICS serial number with 7 digits instead of 8 or 9. Squier serial number ISS – I = Indonesia, S = Samick, S = Squier, 6 digits. IS serial – I = Indonesia, S = Samick, 8 or 9 digits. SI serial number – S = Squier, I = Indonesia, 8 or 9 digits. *************** It looks consistent with Indonesian Squier serials. My guess is made in 2020. Probably a Classic Vibe 70s Strat? The H might indicate a limited color or special run or something. Most Squiers don't appear to have that letter in there. What guitar is it? More on reddit.com

Help identifying 2 Squier Jaguar serial numbers?
The first two numbers after ICS is the year they were made, so you've got a 2013 and a 2012. Both would be VM. More on reddit.com

February 5, 2016 - AFAIK, all VM Squiers have been made in Indonesia since their introduction. And all Indonesian built instrument's serial numbers begin with "IC" or "ICS." So the serial number prefix should give you a good idea of what you're looking at.
