This is the fully loaded white pearloid pickguard from a 2018 American Professional Stratocaster (USA). It’s completely wired and ready to drop in – three genuine Fender V-Mod single-coils, the treble-bleed volume circuit, tone controls, and the 5-way switch all still soldered up exactly as they came from the factory. The V-Mod pickups are the highlight here: they’ve got that clear, punchy modern Strat voice. Everything works perfectly and the pearloid guard itself is clean with no cracks or scratches. If you’ve got a Strat body waiting for electronics, this turns it into a playable guitar in about ten minutes. Packed carefully so nothing shifts in transit.
