Thinking of buying a used stratocaster, secondhand and locally. Hoping some of you could tell me what to look for to make sure it's not fake, as this is my first strat purchase. I'll post some pics of the guitar

It's real but it looks like one of the cheap shitty models, looks like a 90s American Standard. They really don't play much better than the current mims. Fender has stepped up their game a lot since the 90s.

the serial number checks out, the headstock logo looks legit, as far i can tell it is a legit american standard strat

Pretty sure it's a '99 american standard. I'm getting it for cheaper than I could buy a new MIM at a store though ($650 USD). I think it's worth it, what do you think?
The chainsaw case is worth $200 to the right people

That price seems fine, you could always sell it easily if you don't like it down the road.
