Does anyone have a Stratocaster made in Korea?

I have one but it has some strange points.
1. Different nut from real Stratocaster
2. It has truss rod cover
3. It also has string guides.


Is this real Stratocaster? I haven’t heard about Stratocaster made in Korea.
I hope someone give me information.

Squier Stratocasters were made in Korea.
They did not have truss rod covers.
None have been made in Korea in probably 10 years.
"Fender" branded Korean models date back to the late 80s.

We need more details, but it does not sound like it's real.

The 2008-ish Fender Lite Ash Strats were Korean for a while until Cort moved production to Indonesia. The truss rod cover is not usual though.

Thank you for responding. I’m attaching some photos of my guitar. Do you think it’s real or fake?
