I bought this "fender strat" body and installed the neck from another mexican strat that I have. I noticed that the neck didnt go in smoth and that looking from the back it is not flush with the body of the guitar. The bridge I noticed is different from my MIM strat and doesnt have anything written on it while my MIM does have something wtitten on the back of the bridge block. The seller provided me with the serial number that was on the neck that i never saw and is MX11244792
GC FSR STRAT PLYR BST RW AMB. The first string i thin because the neck is not perfectly aligned is kind of off. The body has like scratches on the wood that are under the finish. This is a link to the pictures:

The "GC FSR STRAT PLYR BST RW AMB" translates as "Guitar Center exclusive Fender Special Run Player Stratocaster HSS with Mid Boost". Seems it was a limited run of 250 guitars in 2011.
On a quick glance, it looks legit to me, but you can compare yours (looks and specs) with this one, sold at reverb.com: https://reverb.com/item/13218004-fender ... h-rosewood

On the neck issues: usually same type Strat necks are interchangeable. But things like neck/body alignment, minor fitting issues & such are to be expected, and those are taken care of when putting a new neck on. Use a pro if you don't trust your own skills.
