Your links can't be posted as pics directly into the thread (at least I do not think so). So it would be better if you posted them as url's instead. Better yet, use a different pic website that would allow the pics to be posted directly into the thread with the "img" function -- some people here don't trust the url links that people post and won't use them (rightfully so, too).

Example:

Nice looking guitar.
My Fender guitar history isn't the best at times, looks legit but the no belly cut is very unique. It may have been FSR or a limited run instrument. Pick guards sometimes shrink and a nitro finish will check like that as it settles/shrinks, but it may have been re-finished by a previous owner.

Use the customer service option and ask Fender for the specifications for your serial number, that's what I would do.

It is just me, or does that string spacing look a little narrow?

First thing to do... run the serial number through the "Register my Fender" in the link at the bottom of the page. That'll confirm the as-built appearance WRT color and pickguard.

Did I miss something or did you say there was no belly cut, then edit?
Fits the bill for a 1st version roadhouse deluxe.
Hard to tell Rich, pics aren't great.

A warped pickguard or wood grain showing through the paint usually tell nothing for legit/fake ID'ing.

For a 2007 MIM Fender, this should help.

Sorry I don't think I understand what you are saying/asking.
You can purchase replacement 4-ply tortoise pickguards and tremolo covers (yours is non-matching) for around $40US.
The uneven finish is somewhat normal, it would be relatively expensive to fix by a pro. You could lightly wet sand it if it is a real bother.

I think marsat is asking if a warped pickguard or body wood joints/lines/grain are normal for a MIM Deluxe Roadhouse Strat - and maybe if those are a sign of it not being a legit Strat (though I may be streching the interpretation there...).
What I see in the pics could happen in a Fender Strat, but the pics don't tell enough for legit/fake identification. The paint job is a bit suspicious.

BTW, the tortoise pickguard/white trem cover would be the right combo for a 2007 Roadhouse.

And let's get the pics straight on the forum, I don't like to click on outside links...

If you are concerned that it may be a fake, call or email Fender and ask them to confirm, or input the number here: https://www.fender.com/product-registration/

Pickguards can be changed easily... it's a 5 minute job if you do it during a string change, but aftermarket pickguards (Ammoon, MusicLily, and other cheap Amazon sellers) may not properly line up, so the misalignment of the holes can cause a bow in the edge of the PG.

Something looks off about the screw spacing on the rear cover, but it's impossible to confirm with the heavy angle of the photos.

The paint? Ya... it's only a 10 year old guitar, but if it has been subject to a dry environment or extreme temperatures, the paint can develop ripples like that.

Just a thought, the bow in the PG could also be due to a wire caught between the PG and body, or something under the middle pickup forcing it upward.
