Just purchased a VG Mexican Strat with a sunburst finish and rosewood finger board.
I was wondering if anyone could help me confirm whether the pickups, volume and tone knobs should be white or a creamy colour.
The guitar I have has creamy hardware but pics I see all the hardware is white.
Please help.

Hi & welcome. Mostly bumping this up; the first poster delay policy stalled your message, so it may go unnoticed.

Those 2012 and later G-5 guitars are a bit problematic - they were marketed by Roland up to the degree that Fender web pages only had a link to Roland, and they are even missing from the Frontlines and Fender price lists.

So, no horse's mouth info to be found to give you a definite answer. My best guess is they had white plastics - that's what the earlier predecessors, MIM "Roland Ready" Strats had, and that's what pics from the 2012 (ads, NAMM etc.) show.
But a consolation: the color or aging of plastics does not effect the sound or functionality of the instrument. :wink:

You could check if Fender Consumer Relations (via support pages, email or the fantastic chat service) can provide you with the precise specs. I haven't seem those published, so maybe post here if you get them.

The Mexican VG was marketed as the G-5 and appears from the advertising material and the brochure at Roland to have White/Parchment plastics.
