Could you tell me if the serial number ( AN-7311058172 ) on the back plate of guitar is Fender's serial number?

That is not a Fender serial number.

Photos of the guitar would be helpful.

Thanks for the answer!

Sorry for the quality of photos, but that's all I can get.

I don't know what that started life as, but it is definitely not a USA Fender Strat. It has all the characteristics of lower-priced imports from the Pacific Rim area (Indonesia, etc.); it might be a Squier with fake Fender decals and neck plate or it might be someone else's Strat copy with the fake decal and neck plate.

Defintely a fake. The alignment of the screws on the backplate covering the trem springs are a dead giveaway.

Yea, terrible logo too. You wouldnt find a US Strat with a black truss rod plug either.
