Fender Strat Pickup's size

[Winblows]

I wonder if all these pickups are the same size ?
I am considering replacing the factory pickups in my Squier Mini Strat with some others.
Thank you.

I believe the body size is the same on the strat mini. I don’t see why fender would make different size pickups for the mini.

The body isn’t the same size (at least, our Mini isn’t). That said, I believe the pickups are the same size. My Strat is in for a service and setup so can’t check against the Mini just now though...

Also take a look at the routing on the mini, just to be on the safe side, to ensure it's deep enough in there to take a standard pickup. I agree with the others that the mini probably has standard pickups, but you really never know: I've been surprised on this exact point before. In fact, I'd assume that anything on a Squier is different until I'd confirmed that it isn't.

My thoughts as well. It's possible that the pickguards my be different though, including where the screw holes are located.

I appreciate the interest in my question. I'd like to avoid to buy a full size Squier Strat just to get the answer to the question
Well... I'll try to ask someone through the Fender web site...
Thanks to all.

I think you’re right, the pick guard does look slightly smaller. I’m pretty sure the hard tail bridge and the pups are regular size though.

On a side note, a few months ago we got tired of the utter junk that are the stock tuners (we have the original Mini with the classic Strat output jack; the new version has a Tele-style output on the side of the body instead of the top and better tuners). We handed it into our tech who swapped them out for a set of vintage style tuners and it transformed our relationship with the guitar: it’s a lovely instrument we love playing!

The stock pickups on ours are actually pretty good, quite high output for being single coils on a cheap guitar. The general build quality is good.
