These came out of my Strat and are essentially brand new.  I am not sure if the fancy switching is all present and correct as I think the original selector switch was used on the new  setup.

No longer availabe to buy new, I think, as the Vintera range has been changed again.  Essentially, the Baja 50s Strat set.
