The sunburst guitar in the pics is not a Fender, it even has the most basic no-walnut-plug syndrome.
And a serial number search (Z940207X) brings up a totally different guitar, AmStd HSS in Sienna Sunburst.

Yep... Not sure what it is, but it's not what it claims to be.
It is not a Custom Shop (decal from eBay)
11-hole pickguards are/were laminated.
CBS-Headstock necks had either a bullet truss rod exposed above the nut, or the early models had a solid walnut teardrop fill and "X" adjusted on the neck heel.
Best case, that's a Squier neck with a full set of bogus decals.
