The tuners and String lock look like MIJ. The neck could be a fake, the logo is fake for sure, but the neck looks a lot like a late 80's MIJ neck, with that thicker rosewood slab. I would take the neck off and see if it's stamped with something like ST-62 or something like that.

Bridge looks like a squier, can't really tell the body, could be squier as well. Could tell more if you could take some pics of the neck pocket and the pickup routing.

Hello everyone, i took off the neck to see the neck pocket, and the serial number was ST-362N. Do you guys know anything about it? Oh, and the body said Squier

The neck pocket on the body said st-62? If so then it's a MIJ body. Great deal for $90.

So, you guys think i should keep this instead of a MIM Strat?

Btw, is there a way for me to know if the body is also a Squier MIJ?

CIJ is typically higher quality than MIM

Where on the body did it say squier?

Here's a pic of what the neck pocket of my MIJ looks like.

The bridge on yours looks like it's from a newer cheaper squier.
