Thought you might like to see what’s going on under the hood. 
looks like a USA pup. 
CTS pots and orange cap. 
even the control cavity is separate from the pickup cavity. 
The pickup cavity has the brass earth plate too. 
all classy stuff!! Nice surprise!

Nice! I don't think those are the stock pots (my E-series Strat surely didn't come with CTS pots) but that's a very nice and useful upgrade. The electronics were most definitely the weak spot of my Strat. Otherwise build quality, hardware and finish are excellent.

Yep i'm inclined to agree. My E serial jap P bass doesn't have CTS pots and no Orange cap either.
