The Support pages/Product Dating/US Instruments says
Quote:
“10” prefix followed by a space and seven digits (late 2009 through March 2010)
but there are a lot of guitars with 10 prefix plus six digits. So it could be a legit 2009/2010 US Strat based on that number alone.

What is the guitar supposed to be, and are there some other reasons to doubt the origin?

I agree, looks good - although the headstock doesn't show properly on any pic. It should have the chrome logo.

Personal dislike: the tuners "upgrade" - but the originals come with the guitar.
Personal oh-wow-that's-nice factor: the bridge upgrade.

BTW, there are too many fake Fenders, but I've not yet seen a fake (contoured heel) Deluxe...

Looks okay to me - early 2010 American Deluxe Strat. Those "10xxxxxx" serial numbers were only used for the first 3 months or so of 2010; before they switched to the "US10xxxxxx"
