Here is a list of the technical data that I found for the Squire Strats, and
the American Standard, for comparison.

Fender Mexican Squire Stratocaster (Part No. 033-7102)
Korean Squire Stratocaster (Part No. 033-6102):

Korean model does not come in the Pacific Blue color…

Fender American Standard Stratocaster (Part No. 010-7402):
