Hi to all you guys

My Name is Thomas, 44y old dude from Hamburg, Germany, reading here for a long time, now decided to jump in because I found a (for me) very special Strat I have no clue about…
Maybe somebody can help me identifying this beauty or give some Information…did a lot of research but????

Thank you so much in advance and sorry for my Englisch

I think a better picture of the headstock decal/ serial number would help

That decal font looks pretty wonky, and a Fender model Crafted in Japan definitely would have the serial number at the back of the neck, above the neck plate. This seems more like some sort of forgery. It may still be a great guitar, just not a Fender most likely.
