After some advice please. A few years ago I traded in some guitars for a 50’s Classic Player strat that had been calling me for quite a while. Obviously the guitar had been on display for a while, and clearly sun has got to it and helped with colouring the plastic, all apart from underneath where a sticker was - you can clearly see the markings on the scratchplate. It never really bothered me up to now, but I think it’s time to do something about it.
What would you guys suggest? Replace all the switches and scratchplate to match? Or just try and get a scratchplate that might be different in colour/fade?
Thanks in advance

I have an old vibrato spring cavity cover plate that is similarly afflicted. The ghosty impression of the self-adhesive label is fading to blend in with the rest of the plastic. This has only taken twelve years.

I imagine the classic player (like the classic series) takes the US screw pattern so anything made for US reissues should fit.
When I saw a 2-tone sunburst with a black pickguard I was blown away with how great it looked - have a google for that before buying an off white one!
