Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a cracked, warped or yellowed pickguard on a Strat
  • Changing the look of a Strat without touching electronics
  • Vintage-spec Strat builds needing period-correct screw layout

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Strats with humbuckers or HSS routing — pickup holes will not line up
  • Anyone wanting a plug-and-play loaded assembly with pickups
  • Non-Stratocaster body shapes

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 01

SSS cutouts

Three single-coil openings only. A humbucker or HSS pickup set will not fit without cutting the plastic.

Detail 02

'62 vintage spec

Follows the vintage screw pattern and outline, so it suits vintage-style bodies more reliably than modern ones.

Detail 03

Stratocaster shape

Cut for a Strat outline. It will not match Tele, Jazzmaster or offset bodies.

Detail 04

Pickguard only

It is the plate itself. Pickups, switch, pots and knobs all transfer over from your old guard.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Count your body's screw holes — vintage and modern Strats differ in hole placement
  2. 02Pickups, switch, pots and wiring are not included; you reuse your own
  3. 03Compare against your old guard before drilling any new holes

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my Squier or non-Fender Strat copy?

Often close, but screw holes and outline vary by maker. Lay it over your existing pickguard first and check hole alignment before removing anything.

02Does it come with pickups?

No. It is the plate only. You move your existing pickups, selector switch, pots and knobs across from the old pickguard.

03How many screw holes does it have?

It follows the '62 vintage layout. Match it to your guitar's existing holes, since vintage and modern Strats use different patterns.

04Can I fit a humbucker in it?

Not without modifying it. The cutouts are for three single-coils, so a humbucker would require cutting the plastic.
