4003S-5 Pickguard

Post by cheyenne »

Does the pickguard on a 4003S-5 have the same footprint as a regular 4003???

I thought the 5-S toaster may be slightly wider.

maybe it is a 4 slice toaster ...

the 4003s5 used a 4003 pickguard that was being used at the time of manufacture ... so the pickguard on an 80s model will be a little different than a late 90s model ...

I'm not trying to waffle here but maybe this would be the 5 string toaster.

I wonder if that is a vintage waffle, notice the split in it like a vintage tailpiece?
