I put this guitar together about a year ago to replicate Pink Floyd's David Gilmour's famous "Black strat". All parts are genuine Fender parts. The pickups are Fender Custom Shop Fat 50s neck pickup...Fender Custom '69 pickup in the middle position and Seymour Duncan SSL5 in the bridge position. 3 ply all black pickguard. I could not find a shortened tremolo arm so it does not come with one. Only issue is there are two minor blemishes on the headstock where the string tree was misplaced but is in the correct position now. Great guitar! Plays great! Great Gilmour sound!
