WD® Custom Pickguard For Fender® Stratocaster® Elite
The Fender® Stratocaster® Elite was issued in 1983 and discontinued by Fender® a year later in 1984. This model Stratocaster® had some very innovative electronics, notably three individual push-button pickup selectors instead of the common 5 way selector switch and larger sized pickups that had an additional coil to afford noise cancellation and active electronics. The electronics from this model Stratocaster® are the predecessor of the active electronics for the Eric Clapton signature series Stratocaster®.
Please Note:
The original pickups are not the same size as the common single coils, Lace pickups or the noiseless pickups used in most Fender® Stratocasters® or the Eric Clapton® signature series model.
This pickguard will not fit a standard or signature series Fender® Stratocaster® or any import version of a Stratocaster®. This is a unique, one-off design in shape and mounting pattern. We have added options for replacement of the original odd siized pickups for standard single coils as well as replacing the three push buttons for a 5-way lever switch as common to a Standard U.S. Fender® production Stratocaster®.
While many manufacturers may make a similar model instrument, this does not mean each pickguard of this type is interchangeable. If the design of your pickguard varies (country of origin, manufactured date, non-Fender® manufactured) from that pictured, you may be required to submit a tracing for a custom order.
If you are unsure about your material selection please Request A Material Sample before finalizing your order.
Please Note: All pickguards are made-to-order and all purchases are processed in the order they are received. Due to order volume and the handcrafted nature of these products it may take up to 2 weeks to process your pickguard order. Choosing an expedited shipping method at checkout will not expedite the processing of your order, only its time in transit.
