Japanese EX Musicman Stingray

Japanese EX Musicman Stingray

I am looking at getting a Musicman Stingray EX from Japan and I have read that they are made of USA Musicman parts put together in Japan.

This is a maybe 2010 with a fitted body (not a slab), no string-through bridge/no mutes and 3 ban eq.

My question is if this is true that it is the same woods, hardware and especially is it the same pick-up and electronics as a USA EB Musicman.
