1980s Fender USA Stratocaster loaded pickguard. Up for sale is this clean “loaded” pickguard pulled from a rare 1981 Fender USA “STRAT” model. It is also basically the the same loaded pickguard as the 1982 Fender “Dan Smith” Stratocaster. Condition: Very Good to Excellent. The pickups are a cut above the 1970s Strat pickups. All the pickups are Fender Fullerton original, are in great shape, and work as well as new. Unfortunately, a previous user swapped in newer pots into this some time ago, so the lower rotary switch is no longer present. The original white 3-ply pickguard itself has very few pickmarks – you can see a little wear between the neck and middle pickups. There are no major scratches, gouges, breaks, cracks, or other wear present. The pickguard has yellowed a little to a vintage-look, off-white color. FYI: The 1982 “Dan Smith” Strat used the exact same set of components as “The STRAT”, except with a standard 250K lower tone pot instead of the twin-mode switch (which is how it is set up now), and without the gold hardware. Overall, this is a great-sounding collection of vintage parts in outstanding shape. Installation Notes : If you have a 1980 – 1982 STRAT, installing this part couldn’t be easier. Simply solder up the output wires (still attached) from the pot to your jack and solder on the the bridge’s ground wire, screw on the pickguard, and you’re done! The pickguard with all three Fender USA pickups, and all the parts listed in the Specs. See my other listings for more vintage Fender parts. This is NOT a lot to ask!
