Fender1962 Vintage Stratocaster 11-Hole 3-Ply Pickguard White
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement 11-hole 3-ply white pickguard cut to 1962 Stratocaster spec, SSS routing. For repairs, refinishes, or swapping out a worn guard.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a yellowed or cracked guard on a vintage-spec Strat
- Restoring an early-60s Stratocaster to correct 11-hole layout
- SSS Strat builds needing a period-correct pickguard
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 8-hole Strats — the screw pattern will not line up
- HSS or HH Strats; the routing is three single-coils only
- Squier and import Strats with different screw spacing
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
3-ply
White/black/white layers, so the beveled edge shows a thin dark line. Stiffer than single-ply.
Detail 03
1962 vintage spec
Follows the early-60s outline and pickup cavity dimensions, which differ slightly from modern guards.
Detail 04
SSS routing
Three single-coil openings. No room for a humbucker without cutting the guard.
Detail 05
White
Plain white rather than aged or mint green. It won't match a yellowed vintage guard side by side.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Count your screw holes first — 11-hole guards do not fit 8-hole bodies
- 02Pickups, pots, switch, knobs and screws are not included
- 03Swapping the guard means unsoldering or transferring the whole wiring harness
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Stratocaster?
It fits 11-hole American-spec Strats with three single-coils. Count the screw holes on your current guard and check the pickup routing matches before ordering.
02Does it come with pickups or electronics?
No. It's the guard alone. You transfer your existing pickups, pots, switch and shielding, or source them separately.
03Is this white or mint green?
White. If your guitar has an aged or mint-green guard, a fresh white one will look noticeably different next to the original parts.
04Can I fit a humbucker in the bridge?
Not without cutting. The bridge opening is routed for a single-coil. A humbucker needs an HSS-routed guard instead.
