That body is definitely not a 60s classic series though the neck is.It doesn't look like alder(which is what that series uses),it's more like ash with it's thick grain patterns.The 60s reissue doesn't have the 'swimming pool' cavity routing.The sunburst finish with the all black back is not to spec either.There was a series in the mid 90s made in mexico by Fender called the special series...they had poplar bodies with ash veneer tops and the same type of sunburst as yours...maybe it is that(???).Also,57/62 pickups can easily be distinguished by their very beveled magnet polepieces,cloth wire and fiber bobbins(instead of plastic).Hopefully you still got a great guitar regardless of the specs.If it has the magic,then that's the most important thing.
