Anyone can help me on this? Especially the guys from
Fenders.

It looks all original. All the tags and markings are correct. The pickups do look like 57/62 types, with their cloth covered wires, but those were not original to that model guitar.

What do you mean not original to that guitar?? Meaning this pickups don't belong to a 60th commerative strat?

I have the same guitar-a 60th Anniversary Limited Edition American Series Stratocaster. It looks to me to be identical to mine other than serial number. The pickups are correct for this guitar. Mine also has cloth covered wire. Here are the specifiaction from Fender CS:

* I believe the contoured body decal is an error on Fender's part. Where that decal is normally placed is a "diamond" inlaid inside a banner that reads "Sixty Years" on the end of the headstock. Take a look at pages 8 and 9 of the 2006 Fender Frontline.

There is no doubt in my mind about the guitar you are looking at. It should come in a silver colored case with a red interior with the 60th Anniversary logo centered on the inside top. Plug it in. It will sound convincingly like a '57, just a tad more modern.
