Wasn't even looking... NGD on the way

The Modcat says they could be Mira or 245. I popped them out, and they’re Mira Treble and Mira Bass on this one. Some oddities: the Modcat shows Pattern Thin (Wide Thin), the neck definitely feels Wide Fat in the hand… rounded and chunky, with the wide EIR board. Also, under Electronics, the Modcat shows “Starla.” Im not sure if all of that’s regular Mira fare.
 
A looooong time ago, our old friend Shawn said the pickups are uncovered 245s no matter what they’re labeled.
It’s on here somewhere. I’m too lazy to go hunting for this one.:p:D
I saw one where he said a lot of pickups, including the 245 and Mira, were all from the same McCarty pickup family tree.


They do have that McCarty sort of solid tone. Whatever they are, they’re pretty nice sounding. Combined with the lighter weight of the guitar it makes for an enjoyable player’s experience. It’s a great basic guitar, and seems a bit underrated in the family. Glad I got this one!

Yep.
This was from an email convo between Shawn and I a few years back.
"The Mira pickups were simply uncovered 245 pickups, so they could say 245 and not Mira on the bottom."
