Its pretty close. The cream is a little darker than the parchment but it all looks good to me.

The cream is much darker/yellower than parchment, IME. The only bucker I've seen that matches is the PG+, which is the only bucker in parchment. White buckers look like refrigerator white next to parchment.

You can always replace your single covers with cream if you want a match.

Re: SD cream vs Fender Parchment

I tried both Duncan white and Duncan cream. Both are different from parchment. I would suggest you a rewind of the original pickup or get a Floor Custom Version from SD.
