Nobody can know for sure. There are lots of variables. Even if we knew the model, year and where it was made, a previous owner could have switched it out. Someone experienced could guessed by looking up the original or by listening.

Are you trying to replicate the sound on a different instrument? If you are evaluating the instrument at the shop go by sound. If you don't like the sound of the tone knob turned down after you buy it, it's very inexpensive to replace.

The 'standard' pot value for humbucker-equipped guitars is 500 kΩ for both volume and tone controls.

Pawn Shop is the series in the Fender lineup, OP isn't looking at actual pawn shop guitars.

My money says they're 250k but I am only speculating. No clue on the cap, I thought all Fenders used a .047 but apparently some series use different caps.

As the governor says: Oops. (Thanks.)
