Picture of the guitar will help or you are a expert in vintage.

Look here, you'll see switch;

Circa 1973 to early 1980s: CRL 1452 switches still look basically the same as the previous version, but only one patent number. Definately a Diamond logo during this period. These switches still say "Made in USA" but are actually only assembled in the USA (parts made in Japan).
1977 to present: Fender strats use a CRL 5-way switch on many models, which looks the same as the CRL 3-way switch but with two added notches in the switch lever metal.
