Check out this pickguard & the pattern repitition in the tortoise. Originally, the blobs & swirls came from mixing the material together before it catalyzed & hardened into a solid that could be cut, sanded & polished. This makes me think there is some kind of digital printing shenanigans going on:
I think you're right, Robert.
And I seem to recall some chicom-made JV Squier Strats and Jazz Basses that had T/S pickguards which seemed identical.

Very few things are still real in this sad world…
Are those Fender parts or third party supplies?
The packaging identifies them as being made by Allparts, a prolific aftermarket manufacturer.

Yes, I saw the Allparts there but didn't know if it was a brand or a seller.Originally Posted by phantomman
Allparts has been around since the '70s. I think one of their first products was the 5-way Strat switch (before Fender began including them as a stock feature). They are fully licensed by FMIC to manufacture and sell parts the quality of which is generally very good.
