Fernandes 1978 - Loaded Pickguard **Stone Logo** FST60 1978 - Parchment

This sale is for a Fernandes FST60 Loaded Pickguard in naturally aged vintage white featuring all original wiring. The 3 vintage single coil pickups from the original strat (pictured) from early 1978 are in remarkable condition for their age and sound equally as good as you’d expect. These pickups have a lot of depth and great articulation, very well balanced and vintage correct.This is an original pickguard from the Fernandes FST60 Olympic white strat pictured, loaded with all unchanged pickups and pots, original switch, and all original solder joints. Nothing has been altered since it was built in the Fujigen factory in 1978. 

For those looking for that true vintage MIJ tone, which in this case models a late 1960s/early 1970s vintage strat, you will not find any better example in the UK or Europe for that matter. These pickguards very rarely appear on Reverb if at all, so if you know what you’re looking at here, then you know how rare this loaded pickguard is. All original pickup covers and knobs and original 5-way switch tip. They are typically vintage cream which have aged naturally of the last 48 years. The pickup screws are included but the 11 pickguard screws are not included. Only the loaded pickguard is for sale here, not the whole guitar.
