Fender Model Lookup?

hugo · March 21st, 2008, 10:29 AM

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd ask if you know where to check for guitars from Fender from past years? I have a couple guitars that I have no info on and would like to know without contacting Fender direct? Also, hurry up and vote for Ali! She's in the finals!!

Fender Frontline catalogs may help. It's sort a shame Fender doesn't print them anymore. Even though Fender has the equivalent info on current production models online, when they discontinue a model or revise its specs they aren't keeping the older version of the info in an archive where the general public can access it.

If you can post info and pics, someone here can probably help you identify them.

Fender keeps a database back to 1993 of all serial #'s if yours is 93 or newer just email Fender the serial and they will tell you what it is.

If you dont wanna do that find one like yours on ebay and post the pics here someone will know what it is.

Thanks Mark,
Looks like I gotta do that. No biggie. I have a Fender HH QMT in a gorgeous blue and was curious about it and the specs.
