No, they were all the itty bitty teeny weeny pots found on most chinese and korean guitars at that time. I replaced them with Japanese pots. Mostly Squire and Epiphone, and an Ibanez that I can remember.
I am assuming they didn't use those for long. Most of the Squiers I have had or worked on seem to have pretty good pots in them. They aren't real big, but that just makes them more convenient to work on.
I like those Japanese pots. I have seen a lot of guitars that were made in Japan that have the original pots.
I had to change 1 Japanese pot that I can remember, that was in my Yamaha SG 1500. You could tell the guitar had a lot of wear on it and had been heavily used when I got it. And the trace on the pot was good, it just broke because the plastic/bakelite, or whatever the trace mount was made of broke.
