Please help!, I just bought a used strato, and evreything looks fine except the number of screws. It has only 8 and normal stratos have 11, only vintage ones have 8. I need to know for sure and I would like your opinion. Another thing I started noticing once I doubted its authenticity was the sharp bottom edge, I never owned a fender before but I´m starting to think it is the body of a squier with a fender neck. What do you think?

Is there any way to know if this was a 57 reissue?

Thank you!

Most important ; picture of electronics. Pots ans all electronic is very very different from a Squier to another model . Good chance this will tel us everything. Yes I know ; pickguard removing is not easy ...

that serial looks like a 2003-ish guitar, so i doubt a MIM classic.

Why do you doubt? The Mexican Classic Series was introduced in '99.
