COLLECTORS ONLY: Rare 1994 Fender Stratocaster – Fire-Era Ensenada Production, Made in Corona U.S.A. – MN4135131 – Collector Grade / Near-Mint
Our users rate Reverb
For sale is an exceptionally rare 1994 Fender Stratocaster, produced during the historically significant period surrounding the 1994 Ensenada factory fire.
A Mexican Fender Standard Stratocaster "Born in the U.S.A."!
Serial number MN4135131 dates this instrument precisely within the reconstruction timeframe, making it part of a very limited production run often referred to by enthusiasts as “fire-era Stratocasters.”
These guitars are widely considered collectible due to their unique place in Fender history and the small number of units produced between February and May 1994.
Why This Guitar Is Special
This isn’t just a clean early-’90s Strat. It is a rare transitional-era instrument built during one of the most unusual periods in Fender’s production history.
Collectors seek these guitars because:
- The Ensenada factory fire halted production for months
- A limited number of guitars were produced using available parts and assembly was shifted to Corona, USA resulting in unique component pairings
- Serial numbers from this period represent a very small batch
Finding one today in near-mint, unplayed, completely original condition is exceptionally difficult.
If you are looking for a museum-quality 1994 fire-era Fender Stratocaster, this is the one.
Perfect for collectors, investors, or players seeking a nearly untouched example of a unique moment in Fender history.
