I have a MIJ SQ series Stratocaster that has a humbucker pickup in the bridge position. Does anyone know if it could possibly be original, or is it a modification? I'm trying to avoid taking off new strings and then the pickguard to look for any signs of retrofit. I spoke to a Fender customer rep who said it was possible the humbucker is original but he couldn't say for sure.

Most guitars have a full routing for any kind of pickup. You probably won't find mod signs on the guitar. You need to look at the pickup and see where it is from. It should say Fender on it.

SQ Squiers were routed SSS and a humbucker wouldn't be stock

This is what a stock SQ looks like under the hood. As you can see it would have to be modified to accommodate a Humbucker
