Well, all I was wondering is which CRL switch Fener actually used. I'm on ebay alot and I'm OCD about all the parts of my guitars being original. I cannot deal with the new 5 way toggle switch Fender uses now. I'm used to the 3 way. That's all I've ever used because that's all I ever had in my Strats. So when I buy a newer one and it has a 5 way in it, I rip it out and put a 3 way in it BUT, it has to be the old style 3 way CRL switch. The one like that's in yours in the photo but, there's a few different makes of this switch that uses different strengths of springs. I keep buying them off ebay. I just want to know what the actual part number is on the old Fenders.

i get ya. i dont have any pics that actually have that detail in them.
try to call George like i suggested above. hes the cats ass when it comes to fender.

We do have an old Fender that needs to be put back together

Thanks

Oldest instrument you say, hmm...oldest guitars I've got now are my 70s Japanese made Antorias (Hummingbird , LP Standard and Custom, the L5 and D-28 are 80s Korean). My Fenders and Gibsons are more modern, 90s and up.

This is our oldest instrument a 1929 Bechstein Model L baby grand, fully restored for us 15 years ago when our ancient upright refused to tune up any more:

Beautiful instrument with remarkably complex sweet tones, even when I mangle tunes on it.

My beloved 70's Reissue. Named it Woodstock.

 

[AttillaDeHunt]

This one is approx 1971-1974-ish

and this one is approx 1970-'72ish,

This is 1977
And this is a 1976 with its '77 "twin" next

And finally 1977 natural tiger flame,
But my oldest overall is a 1953(?) C.F. Martin Soprano Ukulele which I need to get pics of.

I had more guitars than this one but they are long gone. I wished I still had my first.

1958 Del Vecchio Dinamico Acoustic Guitar. It's a brazilian guitar, very well made , all wood with a resonator plate inside


It belonged to my grandpa, then to my mom, now it's under my care. It was in fact the instrument that I've learned my first chords. It's not a pic from mine, as I was in México I left it with my mom’s because I was afraid of being damaged while in transit.
