Unknown information is indicated with a question mark. The information contained in this guide was culled from our archives of Fender price lists and catalogs, beginning with 1968. Although the tables below are as accurate as possible, serial numbers of these acoustic guitars have never been archived and are of no assistance when attempting to date these instruments. Unfortunately, our records are not complete enough to provide precise dating information for many Fender acoustic guitars from the early 1960s through the 1970s and 1980s.
