FYI, it is a "set" neck not a "through" neck. Big difference.

If it has the stock pickups, they are Seymour Duncan '59 and Pearly Gates. Excellent pups. You'll notice it has jumbo frets and a very slim neck. I had one for a few months and really enjoyed playing it. You can't beat that for $200. Nice score.

Yes, a set neck is glued in place ala Gibson Les Paul. A through neck is a single piece of wood that runs from the bottom strap button to the top of the headstock. The body is attached to the neck as "wings". The description of the guitar on the link to the Fender site that I gave you says the guitar is a "set" neck.

If yours is made in Korea and has a through neck as you claim, then it is not the same guitar as the current version. The current model is made in Indonesia and the photos clearly show a set neck.

Please post detailed photos of your guitar.
