bought a used Fender Stratocaster Serial # N614 ####. They said it was a model of 50 years. Is this true?

Hello! The designation N6 in the serial number corresponds to a 1996 model, which would have been the 50th anniversary of the company Fender Instruments. The typical model has a birthday small wall in the head, indicating the decade of celebration. There were also some subtle improvements of the instruments, which could include trucks equipped, special colors or graphics, or different hardware. Without visual cues, I suspect that your guitar can not be specifically an anniversary model, since not all Stratocaster in 1996 was manufactured as such. You can always provide your serial number in consumerrelations@fender.com Fender, and see if they have any specific information. Sincerely, Dana
