*Please read seller's note at end of listing*


Offered is a rare set of Fender Custom Shop master-wound Josefina Campos Stratocaster pickups, from select 2012–2014 Mike Eldred–era builds. Each pickup was individually hand-wound by Josefina Campos, protégé of Abigail Ybarra, using period-correct materials and meticulous winding techniques.


The set features a ’60 voiced bridge with Alnico 2 bevelled magnets, a ’65 middle pickup, and the infamously sweet FCS ’69 neck. Each carefully tuned to capture the character, balance, and dynamic response of its era. These sets were never mass-produced, making them highly collectible and increasingly rare.


Tonally, this Josefina set delivers truly expressive, vintage Strat voice: the ’60 brings warm, rounded lows and smooth mids, the ’65 offers clear, balanced mids with shimmering highs, and the ’69 sings with bright, chiming treble. Each responds beautifully to pick attack and volume changes, offering harmonically rich, touch-sensitive tones that modern pickups rarely replicate. Highly sought after by players and collectors alike, this master-wound set is a direct link to Eldred-era craftsmanship and authentic vintage Strat sound.


FCS nitrate celluloid pickguard, featuring authentic aging and the warm, subtle aging that only true vintage-style celluloid develops over time.

*Seller's Note*


At Rock Island Line, boutique and premium is what we do best. Every part is personally sourced from trusted licensed shops or carefully vetted private sellers, and parted out from new or mint-condition, fully assembled guitars. We take our time with every detail, right down to the last screw. That means no stripped screw holes, overtightened truss rods, unexpected modifications, or surprises—unless explicitly noted.


What you’re getting is a plug-and-play piece from a working guitar—inspected, played, and professionally disassembled.


We believe integrity and quality matter. When something’s built to last and handled with care, it becomes more than just a component—it becomes part of the story.


Our goal is to provide heirloom-worthy pieces that feel right, perform beautifully, and bring out the best in your prized instrument.


Have a question or a request? I’m happy to connect by call, text, or FaceTime. We live by the golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated.


Thank you very much—we look forward to earning your business and trust.
