I've recently picked up a Domino Spartan- I started a thread about restoring it here:
http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/vie ... 42&t=69074

Seems to be a factory cousin to the UC-2, ET270, and that whole family. Same trem, scale length, truss rod cover, pickups (in some cases)... many other details are similar.

I have a wonderful UC-2. I was thinking of putting
In a different pickup. What size are they? Mustang or strat size?

Mustang, as best I can tell.

If you are trying to fit the stock Uc2 pickguard, they are definitely not strat sized.
I have no knowledge of mustang bits but...I do know that the guitar is old-school Japanese and the pickup size might just be quite unique to that guitar. If you'll check the link below, it'll take you to my UC2 restoration and there's a good bit of discussion about what I went thru with the pickups. Maybe it will help.
