I know that is authentic cause theres body and neck dates. I also found a J and K under the neck stamped in red on the body, but no serial any where. Also checked under the pick guard theres nothing there.

Can someone please help with this topic.

Then it could have had it's neckplate replaced.
....Is there anything on the headstock?

I don't think that's a American-made guitar. That "STD-57" stamp looks very Asian to me.

Check out http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~amertha/music.html where it says:

"Body: The body is a Fender Japan 57 RI with "STD 57" stamped in the neck pocket."

The serial number on those is printed near the heel at the back of the neck. It could have simply worn off over time.

the heel? is that the end where the date is or the part that touches the body?
and how would it wear off if it was there since it never gets any contact.
