Fell in love, bought the guitar in Mancheser, UK., but I would like to know what is the pick up set up re 5 way switch and is it original. Bridge: humbucker. Mid position: looks like a standard Fender Strat pick up. Neck: Seymour Duncan Strat style hot rails humbucker (maybe).

Can't think of a guitar that Fender have put a humbucker in the neck of, except the HH models. Those didn't have a middle pickup though.

Sounds like it's been modified.

Seems to me you have a 2003 USA made Stratocaster that was either a fat-strat model that came with a humbucker, and the neck pickup was swapped for a hotrails, or it was an SSS model (3 single coils) that was modified into a fat strat. The 5 way switch is probably stock. A few good pics will shed some light on exactly what you have!

Thanks Steve, may need Brad to look in his history book, Ian.

Post some pictures if you can
