For sale is an original late 1990s Fender loaded pickguard, taken from a Classic Series 50s Stratocaster.

Featuring a naturally aged white - now more of a a dark cream colour - thin 1-ply pickguard, loaded with a matched set of Fender ‘Classic Series’ vintage output alnico single coil pickups and a trio of factory Fender/CTS 250k pots and Fender/Oak Grigsby 5-way switch.

The setup comes with an original set of the earlier Fender ‘aged white’ plastics set - pickup covers, knobs and switch tip.

I’m trying to reduce the amount of parts I’m hoarding instead of using currently, hence this listing!

This item is in good vintage used condition. There are some of the usual surface pick marks from normal use, and the pickguard has aged / yellowed with the UV from light naturally - but significantly - over its life, making it a great choice for a relic build or vintage restoration type project. Also, there are some slight areas of heat marking on a couple of places on the inside edges of the ‘guard (solder burn?) as shown.

DC resistance readings as shown in the photos.

Please check out all the photos, as they form part of the description - I've tried to show the condition as well as I can in them. Please also make sure you know what you are buying, as I don’t take returns.
