The Blue Book Says:

Stratocaster: Standard Series (Mex. Current Mfg.)

In 2006, an upgraded model was introduced with shielded body cavities, re-voiced pickups, a thicker bridge, and all come with a gig-bag. In 2009, a tinted neck, parchment pickguard and knobs, and a 70s-style logo were introduced. In 2012, the Standard Stratocaster no longer came standard with a gig bag.

Add $30 (MSR $70) for gig bag.

STANDARD STRATOCASTER (MEX. MFG. NO. 013/014-4600/4602)

I say:

A remarkably clean example of this guitar – in very good condition.  Maple fingerboard and frets are nearly unmarked.  The Fiesta Red bodywork is in very good condition, just a couple of lacquer cracks around the neck screws.  Comes with  the original Fender gig bag and it will be packed carefully in a card sleeve,  trem arm is in the case pocket.

The mexican range of Fender guitars provide an affordable upgrade for a developing guitarist.  They’re much better than the Squier options but much more affordable than the genuine USA models.

This guitar has had upgrades to gold hardware – purely cosmetic, but it’s a nice touch.
