Crusader Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hi everyone, I have a question that I haven't been able to find answers to from Google. Did Fender USA ever make a no-pickguard Strat? I want to know the shape of the Control Cover Apparently some were made in Mexico and they have a sort-of triangular shaped cover, and there are people who make bodies with a D-shaped cover. But I want to know about Fender USA, did they ever do this and what shape is the control cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Posted February 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Well I just found this, why didn't it come up before? It doesn't answer my question but helps https://skymusic.com.au/products/fender-aerodyne-special-stratocaster-hss-rosewood-fingerboard-dolphin-gray-metallic?variant=39874047213630¤cy=AUD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlOrNoI78_AIVB5hmAh2TdgVnEAQYASABEgI_5fD_BwE And by the way I forgot to link that video, if anyone is interested.
