Hey guy's

Just an update. I had a custom made pick guard from Warmoth made for my 88 MIJ 57' reissue Stupid me didn't click the option to have the pickup screws and toggle countersunk so they stick out a bit :oops: . Here are a couple of pictures. I took a picture of the pups and stuff before I removed everything to install the new PG. They have magnets on the backs of em. Some strats made the year mine was, I've seen them with out magnet. I take it these are ceramic? Needless to say they sound lovely!
I love this guitar! Image

Can someone that has an 80's MIJ strat tell me of the pups are stock for the year? And if they know exactly what they are?

About the counter sinking of the screws for the pups and toggle. It's bugging me very much that I was dumb and didn't realize to get them to do that when I had ordered it. I might take it all apart again. Can someone tell me the exact size of counter sinking bit I need to buy?
