Hello guys and girls,
after 10 years of playing the guitar I finaly ended up with my first Fender Stratocaster. You see, Im`m totaly new to the topic and I hope you as stated experts concerning this great instrumet are able to help me :D

I`ve bought an American Strat (S.No: DZ31... Deluxe 2003) with two humbuckers which realy sounds great. But which pickups are it?

The Strat has (as I said) two humbuckers, is US made, has an original Floyd Rose locking tremolo and an one piece mable neck (modern c shape).

I already asked the costumers service but they sent me the dates of a Strat Special HSS with locking Trem - which it is not. It was bought with two hbs from the shop a few years ago.

So, what pickups are in my "new" baby?

Best regards,
Tyrson

if it is that old, it could have had pickups put in it by an former owner or the shop.

if it turns out it is all original, it is probably either stock fender humbuckers, or some type of Duncan pickup.

open the guitar up and look at the bottom of the pickups, sometimes the manufacturers put some info there.

You have a Floyd Rose Classic Stratocaster® (HH) 110-6700/02

The humbuckers are Fender Hot Rods.

Since you have them in your guitar, you can tell us more about them!

Can you put a multimeter to them and measure their resistance and inductance?

You won't find much about them on-line.

I like how Fender uses words like Atomic and Hot Rod as labels for their humbuckers :lol:
