I recently acquired a Fender guitar and wanted to verify its authenticity and details, so I tried looking up its serial number on the official Fender website. Unfortunately, the serial number does not appear in their database. This has left me puzzled as I'm trying to ensure that the guitar is a genuine product and gather more information about its manufacture date and model specifics. Is there an alternative method or resource I could exhaust to validate this serial number or learn more about the guitar?
