I have a Corona SF III which I bought new in 2003. The serial number
is CP 000011 so it should the first lot made by Fender.
I always thought that the Guild production at the Corona plant started
in 2001. Does anyone know the year they started the production of the SF III ?
By the way, what strings would you recommend for country and blues
sound on the SF III ? ( I already have the jazz sound from my X-170
neck pickup and my Gibson ES-165)

Hello krispood,

Your guitar was made in 2002. Guild production in Corona started in 2001 but not for the Starfire models.
