This authentic vintage assembly was removed from a 1983 Standard Stratocaster and includes its original white 3-ply pickguard, factory pickups, CTS pots, wiring, switch, and jack – exactly as it left Fullerton in the early’80s. An exceptional piece for collectors or restorers seeking the unmistakable tone and look of early’80s Fender craftsmanship. Original white 3-ply pickguard (8-hole pattern). Complete with factory single-coil pickups (black bobbins, grey fiber bottom). Factory CTS 250k pots dated early’80s. Original 5-way switch , tone and volume knobs , and input jack. Shielding foil intact on back. Includes mounting screws set. Condition Very Good – 100% original and unmodified. The pickguard shows light cosmetic wear and slight yellowing from age. Electronics are clean and tested functional, with original solder joints and cloth wiring intact. No breaks or replaced parts. A great, era-correct example of early’80s Fender Fullerton electronics and craftsmanship.
