• Serial Number: 553640
• Fullerton, California era Fender hardware
• Correct 1970s CBS-era 3-bolt setup

Condition

Please review all photos carefully.

This is an untouched vintage set showing honest age and wear:

• heavy oxidation/corrosion on screws
• rounded screw slots
• scratches and finish wear
• aged chrome/patina throughout

Nothing has been polished, restored, or cleaned aggressively.

Despite the cosmetic wear, complete original 1970s Fender neck plate assemblies with matching Micro-Tilt hardware are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
