It is hard to say, the saddles look like they may have been changed, but that does not mean it's a fake either.
I would like to see a close up strait on of the bridge/pick up.
A 1993 or 94 but I would have liked to see a couple more digest, the one were I could see the whole number looked a bit strange, again, it could be the photo.
Also, if you could pull the neck off and show a shot of the neck base and end then the body neck pocket, these could be very helpful.

The thing I find most odd is the gold tuners and trees while the rest of the guitar has chrome hardware.

Okay, I see now that it is just the dirt and age.

It LOOKS right, but the only way to really know is to pull the neck and pick guard.

For the most part, I am thinking it is a real Fender, but there are some really good fakes out there, so when you go to change the strings next time, pull off the neck and lift the pick guard and take some pictures.

when i lift up the neck, i can't found anything at there. only solid piece of wood and there's no mark of marker, or a paper something like that.

that's mean my fender just a fake one?

Authentic or not, that is a pretty sweet looking Tele! I like the look of a beat up Tele.

I was looking around and found this tele head shot from 1993 American.

Image

The "Fender" on your is different, and the placement of the serial number is different.

Here is a MIM one from 1993.

Image

Again, the decal is different and the serial number and the country of origin is shown.

Hear is a 1994 MIA,

Image

Again, it is different from yours.

Lastly there is this one here, a 1993 MIJ.

Image

Here, the decal matches and the tuners are the same.

I am going out on a limb here, from what you found (Or didn't find) lifting the neck, and from what I can find, and will say you MAY a made in Japan Tele.

I would suggest you take your guitar to a Fender expert and have it professionally appraised at this point.

It's a cool Tele but it is a fake 1993 American Standard - jeffytune posted all the correct photos. The tuners look like MIJ tuners, the bridge is something that Fender has never used on anything (box plate bridges always have barrel saddles, even the 6-saddle version). I think it started life as either an MIJ Tele or maybe a nicer Squier that someone has tried to fake as a USA Standard.
