Hey,

So I've been looking at purchasing a new Stratocaster, I've been in to many Fender Dealers and researched them on the internet recently and I've noticed a few changes in the specifications of the guitar.

For example I have seen videos and read blogs, etc. that state that the 2012 Fender AS Strat have Custom Shop pick ups as a factory standard, but all of my local Fender Dealers say that they are Alnico V pickups.

Which pick ups are they? Or am I just stupid and they are the same pick ups?

Alnico (aluminum-nickle-cobalt) 5 (strength of magnet) is the magnet material and has no bearing on whether the pickups are Custom Shop or not. The pickups are in fact Custom Shop Fat 50s.
