Depends on how old.
Current ones use vintage-style EBMM tremolo or fixed bridge, 5-bolt neck attachment and Dimarzio Virtual PAF pickups. Not so long ago they used PAF Pro's instead.
Original 80's models had 6 bolt necks joints and Schaller pickups/tremolos.
I beleive the transition to 5-bolt happened somewhere in the early 90's.
There was also a Floyd Rose-equipped model at some point (mid-90's?)
