Custom Built Fully Loaded Complete Strat® Pickguard Assembly Fender® Custom Shop '66
Relic Strat Pickup Set
We custom build each of these complete Strat® pickguard
assemblies in our shop by hand for every customer based on the unique
specifications selected below.
Includes
everything ready to drop in to your favorite
Strat® by simply hooking up the hot wire (audio)
and ground wires. This pickup set is
available in very limited quantities and comes
directly from the Fender Custom Shop, they are
not your typical retail packaged pickups, these
'66 relic Strat pickups were originally wound
specifically for a completed '66 Relic Strat. Middle
pickup is NOT Rw/Rp.
We're not creating an entire relic pickguard
assembly, it is just the pickups that were
relic'd at Fender so the pickup's pole pieces
are darker due to the aging process Fender used. Includes genuine Fender pickguard, knobs, switch tip along with
top quality CTS potentiometers, Orange
Drop polyester film tone
capacitors and a CRL pickup selector switch.
The standard 11 hole
pickguards are fully
shielded as they come from Fender. The '57, '62
and '65 vintage
pickguards require a separate aluminum pickguard
shield which is to be added extra if so desired.
Use separate "Add to Cart" buttons
found below for addition
of these pickguard shields.
We offer a few assembly selection
options for your pickguard to appeal to your
particular Strat® body color.

We don't have any fancy or creative word play to
work up a catchy description for these '66 relic
Strat pickups other than they were wound by the
Fender Custom Shop for a 1966
Fender Strat as a completed
guitar. If you think you'd like the
tonality of a '66 Strat then give these a try.
UPDATE: April 15,
2020 - There is
only one set of
these pickups remaining available. They were
specially offered to us
by Fender since the '66 Relic Custom
Shop Strat was no longer being built.

below using the appropriate "Add to Cart"

shield is a full pickguard coverage shielding

These shielding's are specific and authentic to
how they were originally built by Fender® during
