| Wow! That thing looks like it just left the factory. What's the story on the Japanese script, and is that stamp denoting 1950? |

No, that must be some other code. I don't think they even made the Studio Deluxe until 1955 and the black case with the Fender "tail" logo indicates '67-'71. Is the 6925 the serial number (perhaps located under the bridge cover) or a date code?
Extraordinary condition. I keep coming back to drool. |

Beautiful guitar, but given the case (and other factors) that looks more like a 1960s / 1970s guitar. You could date the pots to get a better guess (old factory stock means it isn't a definite date, but at least tells you "is no older than" the dates on the pots, assuming its original). I don't know if they did this with the laps, but you could also check under the tuner pan for a pencilled date, which, if there, will be the most accurate way to date it.
I know that Fender Japan made some steel guitars up until the 90s, 2000s from old parts...but I think they were Stringmaster types, if my memory serves.
The red stamp certainly looks like a YY MM DD format to me, and Japan uses that date order. Given the relative modernity of the documentation, is it possible somebody just set the date stamp incorrectly?
The case is a good indicator:

Maybe if I'm parsing that right, this would be around '67-'72?
EDIT: Didn't see Bill's post. Good luck with your sale!
