It is very subtle but noticeable when you compare a stock parchment pickup cover along side one of the custom aged ones. With the RELIC Strat  davidgilmourstrat.com the pickup covers are relic'd and aged parchment. Where the knobs are relic'd aged white with the green letters and numbers.  The tremolo arm tip and switch tip are both aged white.

The Fender Custom Shop worked hand-in-hand with Gilmour and his longstanding guitar David Gilmour Strat sale  technician, Phil Taylor, to create his signature model, a reproduction of the Black Strat-complete with its unmistakable look, sound and feel. Featuring black lacquer over 3-color sunburst alder body with a black pickguard, 1-piece maple neck, custom pickups, and David's now-famous electronics and shortened vintage tremolo arm, the David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster is as beautiful, powerful and idiosyncratic as David's playing.
