Hey I'm new to guitars and my dad plays Fender so I went to a local guitar shop and bought this Mexican Stratocaster for $175.00 but I could find any info about it online or even another guitar like it, I took some photos (sorry they're not great) maybe one of you can help me figure out how old it is, how rare it is and how valuable it is, thanks!

looks like a 1994 standard mexican strat to me.

The thing that got me was the aged almost relic like look, the tuners, strap buttons and everything metal looks like worn brass, the pickguard and volume knobs have an aged wood look to them, the finish is matte black and even the pickups look aged, every MN4 Strat I found online looked like every other new Strat I've seen, is this a particular model or something?

Could have been "Relic'd" I guess.

more likely somebodies home project than a rare guitar

+1

anybodies guess, but keep in mind you have an 18 year old strat, could have been relic'd by somebody, or just showing it's age. Hard to tell exactly from your pics.

Thats not a standard. Wrong logo and you can see in the picture where "Squier Series" was removed from the headstock. Thats a MIM Squier Series. Similar to the MIM standard of the day but with Asian pickups and hardware.
