FenderVintage Strat Pickup Cover Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single black pickup cover for a vintage-style Strat single-coil. Replaces a cracked, yellowed or mismatched cover.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing one chipped or cracked cover without swapping the whole set
- Changing a Strat's pickguard-area color scheme to black
- Restoring a vintage-style Strat after a cover was lost
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Humbucker-equipped guitars — this fits single-coil pickups only
- Anyone expecting a tone change; covers are cosmetic
- Modern Strats with different pole-piece spacing than vintage-style
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Black
Shows dust and pick scratches more than white, but hides pole-piece wear and finger grime.
Detail 03
Single cover
One cover, not a set of three. Buy three if you're changing all pickup positions.
Detail 04
Strat single-coil fit
Slips over the pickup bobbin. Won't fit humbuckers, P-90s, or Tele bridge pickups.

Know before you order

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come as a set of three?
No, this is a single cover. Order three to redo neck, middle and bridge positions.
02Will this change my tone?
No. The cover is cosmetic and sits over the pickup without touching the coil or magnets.
03Will it fit a modern Strat pickup?
It's cut to vintage pole spacing. Some modern single-coils use different spacing, so compare with your existing cover first.
04Do I have to take the strings off to install it?
Usually yes, or at least loosen them enough to lift the pickguard and reach the pickup.
