Yes, the Guitar Dater Project site identified the year as 1996 when I checked it Saturday.
I pride myself on my memory, but it's been a while. IIRC, it may have been a Malaysia (or Indonesia?) sticker, but I'm a bit foggy on it because one thing I do recall is removing the sticker shortly after getting it home, so the sticker has not been on the guitar more recently than the purchase date if that recollection is correct.
Thanks,
