I recently changed the guard on my '73 Strat and on the reverse of the original pickguard is stamped C. ACEVEDO - what is this in reference to? A quality control member of staff??

Just wondered if it gave a clue to a little bit of Fender history...?

Its just a quality control mark to show who inspected or assembled a certain part of the guitar. They are all over older strats, probably one on your neck/neck pocket too.

A year ago I was privileged to work on a '74 Strat hardtail whose pickguard had that same name stamped on the underside. I believe it's the tech at Fullerton who actually wired the electronics.

Hook me up with the guard if you don't need it. I'm always out to look for parts for a project I have going. :lol:

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
