Impossible de dater une Squier,,, récompense 100 us

I haven't found authoritative info on all the fields of the serial number. The first position indicates the country of manufacture, and they use C to indicate China. The second position indicates the plant of manufacture but I haven't figured out what Y specifically indicates. the next one or two digits indicates the year of manufacture, with the same looseness that applies to other Fender made or designed guitars. so 05 indicates it was made in 2005 or early 2006.

My son's Infinity Tele is CY4 and we bought it at a time that would have made it a 2004. Protone Teles made in 1996 are usually KC6, and made in 1997 are usually KC97. Those are the examples I've seen of one vs. two digits used for the year designation. (On the Protones, the K is for Korea and the C is for Cort.)

Miscellaneous Chinese serials: CD, CT, CJ, NC: C = China, the first number following the serial number prefix is the year.
Probably made by Yako (Taiwan).

CY: C = China, Y = Yako (Taiwan), the serial number prefix is followed by a 2 number year.

For example

* "CY97" = made by Yako in 1997.
