What electronics are likely to be in it? jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1491 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2009 - 6:27 pm:    I don't know specifics but i doubt whether fender would have installed them from new. More likely an after purchase upgrade done by an owner. It looks like the same electronics setup as mine, volume, filter and q-switch. If you are thinking of buying it. I can recommend the pickups in a strat. I have three standard strat sized ones in mine and it's incredible. that SSH type configuration is a good combination.

The controls would be Volume, Filter, Q switch, and 5-way pickup selector.
