Hello, I just bought this secondhand Squier from one of my friends and the serial seems odd. The serial number is CYKK20007319. I checked it and figured out that CY means that it was manifactured in China, Yako, but the "KK" isn't mentioned anywhere.

July 11, 2012 - A guy on my local CL has a Sunburst Strat that looks like it's in decent shape from the pics. Serial number VN588088. Does anyone know if this is solid wood or plywood? I know it doesn't have Fender stamped saddles, and from the pics it looks like a black logo on the headstock.

The Squiers had the narrow spacing quite rarely the Fenders slightly more often. There did not appear to be any co-ordination with the serial numbers except they seemed to be middle range numbers that had the narrow spacing and what appeared to be later and earlier serial numbers with the wide.

The serial number of the guitars manufactured in the Samick factory had the S9 or S1 prefix and was also printed in black ink. The tuning machines of the first Korean Squiers Stratocasters made in Young Chang were the Fender/Gotoh Standard type, like those used in Japan, while guitars built in Samick or Sung Eum were usually fitted with unbranded Standard tuners or with the cheaper Jin Ho covered tuning machines.

r/Guitar on Reddit: How are the Korean Squiers with the Fender logo on the headstock, specifically the ones with the serial number VN3? (The Fender logo is bigger than the Squier)
April 24, 2015 -

There's this Squier I'm thinking of picking up. According to my research, it has a serial number of VN3 which means it was made in Korea at Sunghan plant in 1993. The Fender logo is silver with black lining, and where the words "Original Contour Body" should be it says "Squier Series". Apparently, they have plywood bodies, but great necks. What's your experience, are they any good? Is it worth picking up and modding a bit?
