Looks legit to me. Typical fender cut. It is '50s-'60s specs but not a '57 reissue due to machine heads and logo. Vintage Stratocasters have spaghetti Fender logo and Kluson-type machine heads. With that said, the serial number of this guitar dates back to '93-'94 from the Fujigen-Gakki factory. Guitars produced within that year or so doesn't have a 'Made in Japan' stamped on the rear of the neck but just the serial numbers since 'MIJ' is already labeled on the headstock. I also have a '96 produced in that era - a '72 reissue but with 'Made in Japan' stamped behind neck above the serial number.
Here's your exact guitar in white (scroll to bottom for LOTS of pics!).

Here's another one in Fiesta Red with no 'skunk stripe' since it is a rosewood fretboard.
