Hello All!
First posting here in this forum, I bought a Squire Cabronita, used, off a bloke here in Thailand where I live.. it's a nice rig, but has something I haven't seen on any other Cabronita, after searching online.. It has two Fideltron pickups, neck and middle and the standard Tele bridge pickup, bridge and plate, and then there's the Bigsby.
Still has the single three way toggle switch and single volume pot. The middle pickup isn't working, most likely because someone has been in there and had a fiddle, which isn't unusual here, it's a mess under the bonnet at least neck and bridge pickups do work. I have to take it in and get the wiring sorted out..
Judging from the finish, pick up hole routing and all that, it appears it may have been done at the factory, is this possible...? Has nothing to indicate anything, just the "Squire Fender Telecaster
on the headstock and "Designed and Backed by Fender", "Crafted in Indonesia" and "s/nICS13285202"

Curious about this..!
Cheers!

I can't recall any model with those specs, so my first guess is, someone went crazy modding.
There has been a Bigsbied Squier Cabronita, but without pics it's impossible to say if yours was that model in the beginning.

There is no Asian or Mexican custom shop.
