Good Day All,

Reference the guitar below: Are those stock pickups with the covers removed, or, something else?? Love to read any history on the pickups or electronics of these instruments.

Also, are there any "best years" for these guitars??

Thanks,

James

No clue if they're Sentell pickups, but Jerry & Christine Sentell in Sacramento make Stringmaster pickups that look like those. Check out their LS19 and S40 models:

Thanks! I found this on ebay which is making me think people just take the caps off for whatever reason.





I wonder if the older ones have grey bobbins??

If the guitar is a Fender Japan then they never came with covers.

Youj just blew me away. Had no idea there were MIJ Deluxes. Can I get some more history on that. Explains why there’s so many for sale over there.
