Like one of my techs at the hospital used to say...
 
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

I was kind of scratching my head at this one too.  Who knows.  I once owned a mexican made jazz bass that played and felt better than any american standard I had tried.  If I still owned it I could see dropping a set of alembic pickups in it.

It went for a great price (mid $200's), even if your only goal was to rescue the electronics for use in another strat.
