It is 7.5, it's the last of the MIJ squires, which were based on the late 50s, early 60s fenders.

It's a mid 70s Kay, the wood colour headstock were the early ones, later they had a gloss black headstock in the late 70s and early 80s. A secret with these is ordinarily they have an ok vintage sound. But put an overdrive or fuzz in the chain and it'll sound awesome. Lots of fun. -

I don't think the pickups are the neodymium version, but the ceramic one's. Neo's have PBXN written on them.

The stock pickups on my Spel were ok, dropped in some 2021 Squier CV late 50s pups (alnico), now it sounds every bit as cool as it looks. 😎
