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.

https://reverb.com/item/42752300-squier ... pink-06241

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.
