I just scored a NOS '06 Standard in desert burst; could someone please tell me what pickups are fitted?
Thank you

Most likely a Burstbucker 2 & 3. Simply look at the bottoms of the pickups next time you change the strings to check for certain.

Thanks very much; I suspected they were different from an earlier Standard I owned as they seem to have much more 'girth' than the rather toppy BB 2 and 3's; to my ears anyway.

Standards never came with 2 & 3 to my knowledge. In the last decade, 498T/490's or Burstbucker V's (changed to "Pro").
