Doesn't fit

Bought this for a Custom Shop '69 Fender stratocaster. Holes are slightly misaligned and bevel is too deep for mounting screws to be flush.

    I moved everything over from a stock American Ultra pickguard to this one without issue. I love it! Really made the black trim switch pop with the black and white knobs. I switched out all my chrome hardware with black stuff, new tremolo bridge, new tuners, and a new back plate to match.

    I only use these pick guards when building a new strat style guitar. I know the holes will line up where they need to be.

  • Fit and Finish is top notch

    I swapped out the pick guard on my friend's black Strat. The fit and finish are top notch. My friend loves the look and is glad I switched it out for him.

  • Fits my 69 strat just fine.
