Help Identifying Pickup

Hi everyone! I was hoping one of you could identify a pickup for me. I recently purchased a MIM strat and this was in the bridge pickup and despite looking quite a bit online I couldn't find anything about it.

I believe it was in the Lonestar Strats at first, and then made its way to a few other models. Like a Pearly Gates with an A5 magnet, more wire turns and correct phase to match Fender's pickups.

So did all 07-08 MIM HSS strats have the pearly gates plus? Or was this some kind of deluxe strat or something?

Your guitar is from the first incarnation of the MIM Lonestar Strat; I don't remember the year range. That particular pickup was only used on a few Fender models, and all of them were 'deluxe' models of a sort. Later MIM Lonestar Strats used a Fender humbucker instead of the PG+.
