Fender Duo Sonic S Serial Number Is All While dating Fender amps made before 1994 by serial number is all but impossible (as records of these numbers were never kept), all hope is not lostthe charts below should prove helpful in dating your Fender amp.

First, it will be useful to you to understand the following five terms in order to choose the correct chart for dating your amp: Silverface, Blackface and Brownface are slang terms used to identify Fender amplifiers based on the color of the control panel (these terms are often misconstrued to refer to the color of the grille cloth).

Tolex is the textured vinyl material that covers the amp; offered in many different colors and textures over the years.

Tweed refers to the two-tone woven fabric that covered many early amplifiers.

On early amps, this material was varnished to make it a more durable covering.

Several different types, in vertical and diagonal weaves, were used.

Although the dates derived using the charts below will likely be a good approximation, they should not be considered exact.

DATING CONTEMPORARY FENDER AMPLIFIERS All Fender amplifiers manufactured from 1990 to the present include a date code, printed on the quality assurance (QA) sticker on the back of the amp chassis.

This black-and-silver sticker contains several lines for sign-offs on completion of sound and electrical testing.

The final line contains a date code of two printed or handwritten letters denoting the amplifiers production date by year (the first letter) and month (the second letter).

In the table below, for example, a CE date code indicates a production date of May 1992.

YEAR MONTH 1990 A January A 1991 B February B 1992 C March C 1993 D April D 1994 E May E 1995 F June F 1996 G July G 1997 H August H 1998 I September I 1999 J October J 2000 K November K December L DATING 1951-1969 BLACKFACE, BROWNFACE, BROWN TOLEX, WHITE TOLEX OR TWEED AMPLIFIERS USING THE TUBE STICKER On the inside of the cabinets of most Fender amps made after 1950 and before 1970, there might be a tube location sticker.

In the table below, for example, a JE date code indicates a production date of May 1960.

These numbers always begin with EIA 606, and are followed by three or four digits in various combinations.

If three digits are present, the first digit refers to the year (i.e., a 7 would mean 1967).

If four digits are present, the first two digits refer to the year (i.e., a 66 would mean 1966).
