I have acquired a 1988 Fender Stratocaster. seller said all original. I cannot find any info on a Stratocaster with the type of rail pickups. Does anybody know anything about this guitar that can help me? ImageImage

AFAIK, there was no factory stock model Stratocaster in 1988 with blade pickups, so I'm thinking the pickups aren't original.
How does the wiring inside look, sometimes mods can be spotted by the soldering?

And in general, if you have other doubts of the guitar's origins, those two pics aren't enough for a reliable ID'ing.

+1

The pickups *seem* to resemble those offered by DiMarzio, Seymour-Duncan, and (perhaps) others.
