Normally the E3 serial would indicate 1983, however this is definitely not an 83 model. They would have been gloss necks with a different body carve and much different hardware all over. The 80s was definitely not a time of what we'd call the highest quality control, (and in fact Mar 25 of 88 was a Friday, so likely the case for this was it was the last day of the busy work week), the Fender worker doing the serial number stamping probably mistook the 8 for a 3 when making the decal.
