PSA: The Pure Vintage ’54 Plastic sets were at one time sold individually for a few years until Fender stopped producing them.
The polysterene knobs on this model were prone to crack easy (especially the switch tip) and finding replacement parts for this model can be a very costly affair IF you should happen to come across a kit. As of 2025, they are very hard to find.
