Stratocaster Loaded Pickguard Greasebucket sss. In excellent-plus condition as pictured. This is a genuine Fender pickguard and controls from an American Performer with Artec pickups installed. Greasebucket Circuit – a Fender modification that rolls off high frequencies (treble) when the tone knob is turned down, but unlike a standard tone circuit, it avoids making the sound muddy by preventing the bass frequencies from becoming overly prominent. They may sell elsewhere first. We work hard to photograph and describe our items as accurately as possible.
