Those are usually done for a certain music store chain, like a custom color or something. The S in the serial number as far as I've heard means it is a special run. I've heard rumors that there were some special runs of Affinities with small headstocks in the past few years. Would it be possible to measure the nut width on that small headstock Affinity? I have an IC04 that is an Affinity with large headstock. Perhaps some chain wanted Affinities with the more desirable small headstock. CV, Deluxe etc.Ĭlick to expand.I have an IC04 that is an Affinity with large headstock. It also appears likely that any FSR guitar beginning with ICS will be a Squier 'Standard' as opposed to any of the other models i.e. It therefore appears as though the the S in ICS is only an indication as to whether it is a Factory Special Run or FSR guitar (manufactured by Cor-Tek in Indonesia).
There are a number of standard models that have the ICS prefix some are FSR but some are just normal run models. In 2009-10 some Indonesian Squier's had the prefix ICS09XXXXX and ICS10XXXXX. IS: I = Indonesia, S = Samick, the serial number prefix is followed by a 2 number year. Indonesian Squiers IC: I = Indonesia, C = Cor-Tek (Cort), the serial number prefix is followed by a 2 number year. My serial number is ICS10207241 so I know the year, but is there any other way I can determine the difference between a Standard and Affinity? And on checking the serial number I got this from Google. Hey there, I bought a Squier Affinity Strat last Dec.
