Fender Stratocaster vintage pick-up covers

We hold a number of these late fifties through 1960s pick-up covers. Matched sets have invariably come from the same donor guitar. We also have several odd singles if you are just looking for one or two. We don’t mind a bit of mismatching as both the volume knob and bridge pickup cover tend to yellow more because they have had more contact with sweat from players hands. Using these parts on projects helps enormously to get that correct “look”. Just like the Gibson cream plastics Fender white ABS plastic discolours and ages over time dependent on what sort of exposure its had throughout its life.
