Is it a fake?
Ok, this is going to be a lot of information. Let's start with the "D"; this usually means that the instrument is a "Deluxe" version. This would suggest it is an American Deluxe Strat. But Fender, themselves even admit that this letter ended up on some American Standard instruments. The second letter is EXTREMELY complicated and hard to explain. From the 1970's through recent years, Fender has used an "S", "E", "N", "Z", or "X". Here is the complicated part; "S"eventies, "E"ighties, "N"ineties, "Z" = 2000-2009, "X" = 2010 - present ;). The zero following the number suggests that this is a 2000 American Deluxe Strat. Keeping all of this in mind, there is another slim possibility. Fender has always used bolt on necks. Leo Fender decided to do this for a couple of reasons. They were cheaper to assemble, easier to work on, and easy to replace. Fender produces many replacement necks and they all have serial numbers on them. The previous owner could have potentially replaced the neck on a standard or even a made in Mexico Strat with an American Deluxe neck with a different serial number. I know this is a lot of info and the serial numbers do go more in Depth than just this, but more than likely you have an American Deluxe Strat. Good find!

There are MANY tricks to remove a threaded piece like this:
1. With a Dremel tool and a cutoff carborumdum disc cut a shallow slot in the remaining piece and use a straight bladed screw driver to remove. This can only be done if the screw is above or flush with the surface.
2. Carefully drill a small hole in the piece fairly well centered. Use an "EasyOut" to remove the broken part.
3. Carefully drill several small shallow holes on the top of the broken part in a line so as to form a slot for a screwdriver.
4. Carefully drill a hole JUST the right size into the broken part and then drive an Allen wrench into the hole to turn the broken part. The hole has to be just the right size so the wrench can peal tiny pieces off to grab the broken part.. this is tricky to get the size just right.
5. Use a detist drill to cut a slot.
In all these use a penetrating oil or CRC226 to make it easier to turn.

The Fender pick up has two wires, blue and white. The Jackson has four: red, green ,black, and white.
1st. Determine the hot wire and the ground wire on the Jackson pick up and then just replace the Jackson pup with the Fender pup. White on the Fender is the hot lead and blue is for the ground. If you hook it up backwards it will be out of phase with the other pup's and will sound thin and weak when selected with either the rhythm pup or the lead pup. Of course, by itself it will sound normal because switching the wires only changes the phase of the Fender pup.
On the Jackson pup, the green and black are ground while the white and red are the hot side. Just solder the white lead of the Fender pup to the pup selector hot side and the blue lead to the ground.

The Fender Stratocaster (in common with all Fender guitars) has passive pick-ups so should be plugged into the no 1 socket.
Whilst it will work in the No 2 input socket this has lower sensitivity and is intended for use with guitars that have active (battery powered) pick-ups.
