    Exclamation What are the pickups on a Highway 1 Strat (SSH)

    hey guys
    im looking at buying a fully assembled pickguard that has come off a Fender highway one strat - but im not sure of the pickups inside it...

    i asked the seller what type of pickups were in the guitar and this is wat he responded with:
    The single coils are vintage style Strat pickups with staggered pole pieces, alnico magnets.
    The Seymour Duncan I am unsure of as it was already custom fitted, it has a tag on it that says 1EV70 SH4 0110 if that helps. The complete setup is off a USA Stratocaster Highway1 which was bought new 6 months ago.


    i was hoping someone here, with alot of fender knowledge, could tell me what all 3 pickups are?
    im guessin the duncan one is a JB? but i didnt know they came stock on strats??

    ok
    thanks for ur help guys!!

    SH 4 must be a JB.
    The Fendersingles are standart A5 ones...forgot their names...have a catalouge somewhere....
    Normally the humbucker is a Fender AtomicII..also an A5 when it is a bridge model.

    The pickups in Highway One guitars and the Classic MIM guitars are the same, as for the bucker, It is a Fender built bucker...It is supposed to be voiced like a JB...The Singles are OK...they sound aloy like SSL-1's.

    51501984,
    What do you want for that loaded guardplate?

    I don't think thats a stock 'bucker. Sounds like the current owner dropped a JB in there.

    The stock Atomic one has the same DC resistance as a JB, they sound ok and can be used.
    But with the SH-4 tag it can only be a JB then.
