This sale is for the back metal shield only. I have next to other PRE CBS items, to put you in the correct time frame...:) CAME FROM A 20th (MAY) 1959 ONE OF FIRST SLAB STRATS FENDER EVER MADE.
HAS ALL AND MANY CORRECT RED STAMP, AND THE "Mell" pencil NAME ON BACK, AND THE PENCIL TRACE AROUND the 1954-1959 White Pickguards used.. It does have 2 extra screw holes in it. ( For all I know they could of been by Fender. There is still the pencil marking around like cutting the back plate for the single ply white pickguard. Leo went from 8,9,10 to 11 hole guard. Trail and era.. rite here folks)
Not many have the clear Red Ink Stamp.. and with the pencil sign off inspector...MELL still present after 58+ years..
I got a word for this item. SWEET!
