Regretfully, FMIC has flooded the market with 10's of thousands of Stratocasters.
Nowadays you need a scorecard and a history book to figure out some of their coding on serial numbers. But for your future reference Squires that start with a serial number: IC are made in or crafted in Indonesia "Cort" factory, yes the same factory that makes high end Cort Guitars and basses.
Numbers starting with: IS are made in Indonesia "Samick" factory, Samick has been making a variety of Brand name stringed instruments and guitars for over 60 years and home of the Greg Bennett line.
Call me crazy but, Twenty years from now people will be breaking their necks to purchase these guitar since future guitars will be made from composite materials and not wood. As of this writing these guitars used in mint condition are worth under $200. US.
What else can I help you with?

Stratocasters are electric guitars made by Fender. They are mostly used in rock music, but can be used in many other genres. Fenders are not only made by Fender, but also by Squier. Squier is a company by Fender, but they make their products in Mexico, and not in California.
