Hello to all guitar lovers! I recently bought my guitar. How do I find out if my pickups are original? Checking the VIN code shows only information about the year of production of the guitar

And what is the name of the pickup model?

The bridge pickup doesn't look like the original one; 2011 would've been well into the Liquifire/Crunchlab era and the Crunchlab in the bridge would have a bar magnet across the coil closest to the neck.

Best way to verify would be to pop out the pickup and see the model number on the sticker or stamped into the brass baseplate.

Both pickups have been changed. As said before, unscrew them and look at the baseplate.
