The reason they need to do this is because FMIC and the international Fender/Squier distributors have different warranties and totally separate support systems including service centers. It looks like it could be IC + YYMMDD + xxx (or possibly IC + YYDDMM + xxx)? I honestly don't know about the extra digit other than to set apart instruments for FMIC distribution from those going to international distributors. Follow-up question: I understand it's supposed to be ICxx + 6 digits, but what does it mean if it's ICxx + 7 digits? I've also seen some serials starting 'I' that were made in India. In your case though it is a Vintage Modified model. 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.
