Fender USA Bullet S2 loaded pickguard and bridge
If you are going to restore that old Bullet, you might as well do it right!

  Up for sale is this vintage "loaded" pickguard with integral bridge in great shape. All the parts on this pickguard are from a 1982 Fullerton, California USA Bullet. The vintage Fender USA pickups read the usual resistance (5.6 Kohms for each), and have the code on the back (016730) and telltale wire leads that identify them as the real McCoy. Each pickup sounds great, and playing both together (with the pickup switch centered) gives you an effective noise cancellation - something not even the Stratocaster or Telecaster had back in the Early Eighties!

Condition:
  The wear is extremely light on this collection of parts. Even the usual pickmarks can't be seen here, and certainly no cracks, breaks, or other damage. The pickup covers have yellowed, but the pickguard still looks nearly pure white. Both pickups work as well as new. The pots also look great, and function well, with no noise. The pickup switch is the only non-original part here - it was replaced with a new Oak/Grigsby USA 3-way switch. All the wiring is factory-original.
  Moving to the bridge, it has light wear as well. The original saddles are in very good shape, with just a tiny bit of scattered surface rust on some. I have verified that all the height adjustment and intonation screws turn easily. Overall, this is a great-sounding collection of vintage parts in outstanding shape.

Installation Notes:
 
This part will fit any 1981-1983 Fender USA Bullet STANDARD S2 body. It will not fit the Deluxe Bullet body that uses a separate hardtail bridge. It couldn't be easier to install - screw on the pickguard, and string it up. That's it - no soldering required!

The Price includes:

  The pickguard with bridge and saddles, both Fender Fullerton pickups, the pickup switch, the tone and volume pots, capacitor, the 1/4" output jack, and all of the the original mounting screws. This pickguard didn't have the original knobs on it when I received it, but if you select "Buy it Now" I shall include a set of new old stock Bullet knobs too (shown in the last picture). The knobs are not included with "Best Offer" sales.

Since 95% of the offers I get on Reverb are ridiculous lowball offers, I will not accept offers on this item.
After seeing Reverb’s management remove a well-deserved negative feedback I left for a seller who sold me a defective guitar, I no longer trust and will not participate in Reverb’s feedback system.
