Friends, help me find out what kind of squier this is?
There is no serial number, the tuners are also different from the affinity and bullet series. Maybe it's just a Chinese copy of the squire or some SE series?

Good luck figuring it out with no information. Does it play well & sound good is where you are with it ? I wouldn't worry about it at this point. Whatever it is, it's a good looking guitar either way. The tuners never had the white discs removed. The headstock looks like decals removed & replaced. The neck plate looks legitimate. Look under the pickguard & there might be some clue(s) that would indicate what it is ?

This is not my photos, I want to buy it, this is a photos from seller.
I'm sorry, the information is really a bit, but I really liked this instrument outwardly, so I wanted to ask the experts - what kind of model.

Looks like I have finally seen my first real Squier fake-o-caster.
The Standard series has those decals but that is the worst application of them I have ever seen. The Standard and has a 2 point trem where this one has a 6 point. The headstock is also wrong...Standards have a big headstock.
As for what it is all.I can say is it's a fake. It isn't an SE since they only came in 3TSB, Black, White and Red.
It MAY well be a Squier but I couldn't tell which one.

Won't the seller tell you what it is? Like others, I think it's parts guitar, and it is very possible that most of the components are junky and the neck decal
(on a fake neck?) and the metal neck plate (on a fake body?) may be the only sorta-Squire components present. I wouldn't buy a guitar just because it's yellow.

Also no insert at the truss rod hole and should have the larger headstock. This is an actual Squier Standard headstock.

Yep! The one in the OP is also a small headstock as opposed to that 70s style big boy.

Genuine Squier with an aftermarket replacement neck, where the owner at least resisted the tempation to put a fake Fender decal on it?

Yeah, it looks like an se or Bullet neck, but with a Standard decal that doesn't fit quite right. That headstock looks like it has been sanded.

As far as I can tell, the Standard and SE never came in yellow. There were some yellow bullet FSR runs, but I don't think that's what this is.

I think it looks good, but at best it's a partscaster. I would not pay more than $100 unless it plays really well.

Standard before 2000 have 6 screw tremolo. And small headstock if I remember correctly. What year is this?
Yes they have the 6 screw trem plate, but they have the larger headstock....they also have the black plastic insert for the truss rod...

here is a pic om my '98 Standard in Frost Red and my '99 Standard in BRG:
