Fender MIJ 80s F Logo Contemporary Knob

This is an original part used on the BOXER series (ST-556, etc.) and Contemporary/HM-style Stratocasters. The central F logo is a knob design characteristic of Fender Japan from that era. Unlike typical Strat knobs, it features knurling for enhanced operability, reflecting the modern, performance-oriented specifications of the 1980s.

These parts are rarely available individually today and are in demand for those who prioritize original condition or for restoration purposes. While there are minor scratches and signs of use, they do not affect functionality.
