I bought this Burgundy Mist Fernandes "The Revival" Strat last night. Any idea when this guitar was made?

From what I read in the Japan Vintage books, the serial should give you the year....haven`t looked inside yet?

Thanks,I don't know. I guess you have to take the neck off to find the date.

Ok,here are some photos inside the guitar. I didn't see a date except maybe the pots...1994?

I found this older post about a similar guitar that was made for the export market.

The colour is similar to the FERNANDES LD-85KK.
That is earlier than a Love Driver but it looks like the L'Arc Ken model colour wise.
