RETROSPEC has just received a new line of 50s-style bakelite strat parts!
We invited you to check out our Fender Parts for lightly aged pickguards, knobs, pickup covers, tremolo covers and switch tips to give your strat a true 50s vibe.
RETROSPEC has just received a first shipment of pickguards, which we’ve carefully aged for an authentic vintage look. We’ve paired these with aged nickel mounting brackets to complete the look. These are a perfect color match for our English Rings!
Over the Pond M69 pickup surrounds are the most accurate reproductions of the legendary M69 pickup surrounds available. Over two years in the making, this new production run of the hard to find “English Rings” were meticulously cast from vintage 1950s M69 rings, using the correct color and correct material (which is very hard to source).
