American Vintage '52 w/white pickguard

[Yarb]

I'm going to check out an American Vintage '52 Tele with a white pickguard. I checked Fender website, and they specify a black pickguard. I know the pickguard is easily changed. My question is.. Does the American Vintage '52 Tele come new from the factory with a white pickguard? Maybe the seller is not sure of the exact model. Have you seen new AM '52 Tele with white pickguard? Let me know.

The '52 comes stock with a black guard.

yep, it's either been changed, or the seller doesn't know what he's selling.

Fender did do a couple of runs of "special" versions of the AV '52 in both 2-color burst and black with white pickguards back in the 1990s. However, if it is the butterscotch finish then it should be a black guard.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't been to check it out yet, it is indeed butterscotch in color. It has three brass saddles and vintage type tuners.

There was also a run of "coppercasters." Those looked really sharp.
