I bought it from a friend and it has a sticker that says "Special Edition" It's a Mexican from 09-08. I just haven't been able to find much other information on it.

Sounds like your strat is a FSR (Fender Special Run) series strat. I am a newbie myself and am not completely sure about this... but I think it is usually an indication that the guitar was manufactured for distribution by a particular large-scale dealer. I see a lot of Fenders labeled "FSR" at Guitar Center and they all have the "Special Edition" sticker on the back of the headstock.

I am looking at an FSR Antigua strat online right now and trying to find out more about it from the veterans here on the forum!

Quote from the link above:

"FSR" stands for Fender Special Run. These products are specially commissioned by individual dealers and built to their specifications. As they aren't regular production models, FSR instruments and amps aren't generally available to every dealer, and Fender seldom provide specs or listings for them on its website. Your local dealer, however, should be able to provide detailed specs for any FSR products they offer.
