With the headstock being refinished, there's no way to properly identify the guitar, short of removing the neck and reading the stamp on the heel of the neck, and in the neck pocket of the body, and even that will be a limited Identification.

In that case, don't lose sleep over it. It isn't a rare, valuable guitar. Never will be. If the hardware is unmarked then it's almost certainly a bottom of the range, budget guitar, whoever made it.
Play it to death, enjoy it and then when it's worn out, bin it and buy a new guitar.

Just my own $.02 worth here...please use it only for what you feel it's worth...

My guess is that what you have there is some kind of partscaster. The neck -could- be from a Squier Standard. Obviously there are plenty of large headstock clones out there and having been refinished, it's pretty impossible to tell for certain either way, but it does look pretty consistent with the necks on the Chinese Standards...the nut, the truss rod insert, tuners, twin string T's...all right on for a Squier Standard neck. That body however is most certainly -not- Squier Standard...I seriously doubt it's Squier at all. From my own experience, that routing and even the tooling marks just don't look like anything I've ever seen come out of Fender/Squier. What's more is that -if- the neck did come off a Standard, the body would have a 2 point trem and not a 6 point. Likewise while the pickups do look to be Squier(ish), the pots and switch are wrong for a Standard.

In any case, as others have already said this just isn't a high dollar value instrument in any case. If it plays well and sounds good, just enjoy it for what it is...a Strat. Ain't nothing wrong with a good little partscaster :-)

Again just my own personal opinions,
Jim
