Are they vintage style, or are they modern type enclosed heads?

Thanks for replying, they are like a Gotoh sealed type rather than a vintage Fender F type....Jim

It's hard for me to give a good answer, as there might be variations from what Gotoh has now, and what was used on your guitar. My best advice is to Google for 'Gotoh' and see what's available. Of course, contacting Fender is always an option.

Ebay is also an option, but it is hit and miss-you might not find any for months-and then find three sets all at once! Or not.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Sadly, if you are looking for EXACT replacements that say Fender Japan, then odds are it'll have to come from a MIJ Fender that has been parted out-and that usually means Ebay. I've never seen them offered as replacements-and I love MIJ Fenders, so I know how you feel!
