Genuine Fender®
'57 vintage Stratocaster® tortoise
shell, 4 Ply, 8
Hole pickguard for three single coil pickups. Fits
'57 American vintage, SRV and Eric Clapton
Stratocasters (USA) '50s Stratocaster® (Mexico).
Accepts Phillips oval head pickup and selector
switch mounting screws.
This pickguard does not have any shielding as it
comes to us from Fender, you should consider
including item #
001-9640-000 for the '50s period specific
type of shielding to your order, or for a full
coverage type of shielding use item #
001-9699-049 to
fully shield your pickguard. However, the
001-9699-049
shield would need two of its perimeter mounting
holes drilled/adjusted to mount accurately with this
vintage 8 hole pickguard.
All tortoise shell pickguards are subject to
warping and shrinkage and these we get from
Fender are warped, it is a characteristic of the celluloid
and vinyl layering. Here is a
link to an informative article provided by
Fender all about the Tortoise Shell material.
Tortoise shell is prone to pitting scattered
across the entire surface, this is a
characteristic we have seen for as long as we've
worked with Tortoise shell and is not something
we consider as defect since it is found on every
Tortoise shell pickguard we receive from Fender.
Just about all of these Tortoise shell
pickguards we receive from Fender are warped, if
you feel this may be a problem if the one you
receive is warped, then please do not place an
order for this pickguard.
