Hi. I recently acquired a guitar and I was hoping someone around here might be able to tell me a little bit more about it. It doesn't have a serial number underneath either pickup.
thanks for looking

I thought "Shrike"refers to the pickups? The offset ones in a diamond pattern like this guitar

They were known as Boomerang pickups. The body style was Shrike - came with different pickup options, on board EQ electronics, etc. |

Thanks, I understand now.
How could I go about finding what pickups are in it? |

Hard to say.... I'd question if they are original since they are a mixed pair.
The gold foil neck pickup looks like an old DeArmond or Teisco. You might want to pop them out and have a look on the back of them for any identification info. |

I checked the pickups when I got the guitar but they were blank.
It seems that neither of the pickups are are original to the guitar. The bridge pickup seems to come from something called an "Apollo May Queen". The neck may come from an "EJ-1". maybe |
