Strat Elite - Bakelite
The Fender Stratocaster Elite was issued in 1983 and discontinued by Fender a year later in 1984. This model Strat 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 Strat are the predecessor of the active electronics for the Eric Clapton signature series Stratocaster. (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. It is a unique, one-off design in shape and mounting pattern.
Made from genuine paper phenolic bakelite measuring 2mm thick and does not have any outer bevel around the edge of the pickguard.
