Ahh ok, this is the pictures my Tech sent me when he was working on the guitar,

I think you can see something like "FEB" on this one.

This is where you find the stamp, but that is not very clear.

Fender Japan making Fender Super-Sonics in silver sparkle?

This could be interesting. And importable.

Already sold out and for sale on ebay for an additional $700. What a shame, I was going to have myself a fifth SS.

I feel like nostradamus. Like two days ago, I said if the past is any indication, they'll sell out and be running $1k over MSRP the same year as release.

I just picked up this exact SS, so I guess I get to have 5 anyway. Now in shell pink and blue sparkle for anyone who trusts a Chinese Squier.

The first ad I see is for an SS Vista there is a store asking $1700... J.F.C.

No reason to not buy the Paranormal version if that's what the market looks like nowadays...

I have been away for almost three years. Any Squier Vista Super-Sonic news? What have I missed with you folks?
I have moved my remaining six to Vancouver, BC, Canada. I kept the four original colours, a silver sparkle one I refinished coral, and a purple sparkle Pawn Shop Fender that is a twelve string.
Sold a white one to Nick Reinhart, an orange sparkle one to dropthebeat, and a red sparkle one.
Most of my recent acquisitions have been fat-necked guitars. I find the Vista Super-Sonic necks to be too small for my carpal-tunnel problems. Anybody in Vancouver need a Super-Sonic?

I never found the year/date of mine, never got around modding it either.

Very happy with it even if I don't use it as much, I'm never selling it though.

Is that the white one having aged 25 years? It looks almost desert sand.

Also, while looking closely I was distracted by Blue Demon on the shelf behind it.

Nah it's been refinished over the original black, kinda ivory creme beige. Love it

Hehe good eye there, Blue Demon is in fact standing next to El Santo ;D
