it is neither, it is a mustang.
your guitar, if in decent condition, is worth about $300.

Mustangs are the shit! They were introduced as a short-scale student model that followed up the Duo-Sonic, Musicmaster, and Bronco designs. Because they were marketed as a student model, their resale value is not as high as other Fender guitars made before and around the time that CBS bought the company in the early 60′s. Depending on condition, I doubt that you could get over $900 for it, and that is if the instrument is completely immaculate with OHSC and documentation.
Mustangs are beautiful instruments with character and a tone all their own. I plan on building one from the ground up with Warmoth parts. Hold on to it!!!

It’s a strat. A new Fender ’65 Mustang is about $1000 so if yours is in good condition it could be worth $500 or more.

Neither like milesfordinner states they were marketed more for the student so they are 3/4 size (most anyway).

At a look at this link on Wikipedia:

Hope this helps!
