Post subject: Korean Squier info needed

I just acquired an old Korean Squier from a friend who gave up playing some time ago. It is a bit of an odd one. Firstly, the serial is M2154001, which might normally lead you to believe that it is MIM, but it clearly says 'made in Korea' on the headstock. A post on another forum suggests that the M means it was manufactured by company called Muzika, which no-one seems to know anything about. The other thing about it is, as you'll see from the pics, it is an unusual looking strat: no scratchplate, 1 5/8" thickness, slightly 'fat' shaped body; chrome knobs, tele-style socket. I had to strip it down and clean it up. After a good set up it plays really well (much to my surprise).
Some pics here:

Any information on this one gratefully received.

I looked at Wiki but couldn't find anything with an M. Seems like it might be a switched body or something.

Hope you find out. Try customer service at Squier. The Fender one usually works.

The Wiki doesn't seem to be very complete on Squire serials. Also, I know it is Korean because it says made in Korea on the headstock next to the 'M' serial number. This guitar was originally bought in a pawn shop in about '95 - some time before fake fenders started to appear in the market. I doubt it's a fake - why fake a Korean Squier when you could fake a MIA HM Strat for more cash?
