I got these NOS 3-Way from a Vintage Shop Dealer. back in New York where I grew up and 1st started playing guitar.. and started EddieVegas.com....It wasn't Vintage then, just a guitar...A Burst could be bought for $1,400... My Mother would take us to go buy/trade... Beg... at this K@@lest Music Store I ever new. I was only 14 at the time... so you couldn't drive legal yet. I always had a job.. but min wage at under $3 a hour .. that Burst was Pretty far from ever coming home with me. Id put a Super Dimarzio in that Burst anyway....
Art the owner was one of the 1st Fender Dealers in NY. in the 50's. It was a blessing to buy much when the store retired... I don't know.. Using a Part that been at a Old Time back in the day in a Vintage Fender.... just makes the Tone a little Better.. to my ears...! Solid.. Quality right here if you need one.. FThis part with give you back to day 1 performance.... and Bell Tone..
Correct for 1953 Thru 1963: Fender Stratocaster & Telecaster In late 1963 Fender started using the smaller 3 Way switches.. 1953 to 1962: CRL 1452 3-way switch with three patent numbers and the bakelite with flat side cuts.
