I am about to buy a used 2012 American Standard Stratocaster. While playing it, I realized that there was something wrong and I removed the pickguard. What I saw did not look legit for me. The wiring was terrible and there was a background noise even when I was playing the clean tones. I compared the pickups with other pickups on other American made Stratocasters and these don't look anything similar to those. The pictures are from the mentioned guitar. Can you tell me if these pickups are fat 50's or pre fat50's standard Stratocaster pickups?

They're definitely *NOT* Fat 50's.

They are not American std pickups.
Check with the original owner if you can.
Fender stamped their 1970s pickups in a similar fashion …. :D
