I hate to agree with the others, but that is defintely NOT a Fender guitar. The headstock is pretty obvious, but you can also tell by looking at the dot spacing on the neck and even the far away/full shot shows the body shape, neck joint, etc are all just a little "off". It's a pretty guitar and if you like it, like playing it, & like how it sounds, then don't swea it. If you paid "Fender" pricing and was told it was legit, then I'd go get your money back. Lots of real Fenders available on eBay for very reasonable prices that are coming from legit sellers.

The nut wood spacing before the peg head is wrong.
The string T are not the good one
The front strap button to close to the neck
Neck pickub should not have those two screw
You should not have a contour body
And logo is fake as serial number

I'm very sorry for you , I hope you can have your money back.

Other things to help you justify getting your money back: as stated above, body contour shows its a fake, dot spacing on 12th fret isn't correct (too wide), the waist of the body is too narrow, and most of all, Fender hasn't ever embossed/imprinted the logo into the wood. It's always a decal. Add those things to the items posted above and you've got lots of ammo to justify returning it.

Go get your money back.

It's fake. There is no question of this. The label gives it away.
