Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Black 11-hole SSS pickguard cut for American Standard Stratocaster bodies. A direct swap if your screw count and hole pattern match.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refreshing a scratched or faded guard on an American Standard Strat
- Black-on-sunburst or black-on-white cosmetic changes
- Rebuilding a partscaster around an American Standard body
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Squier or import Strats with different hole spacing
- HSS or HH routed guitars needing a humbucker cutout
- Vintage 8-hole Strats from the 50s and 60s reissue lines
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
SSS cutouts
Three single-coil openings. A humbucker will not drop in without cutting the plastic.
Detail 03
American Standard cut
Matches that body outline and control placement. Import Strats often sit a few millimeters off.
Detail 04
Black finish
Hides pick scratches better than white or mint, and shows dust and polish swirl more.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Mexican-made Strat?
Often close but not guaranteed. Standard Series bodies vary slightly. Compare screw holes and the neck pocket edge against yours.
02Is it loaded with pickups?
No. This is the bare guard. You transfer your existing pickups and electronics over.
03How many plies is it?
Check the product photo for the edge bevel. Black guards commonly come in single-ply or three-ply black-white-black.
04Can I use it on an HSS Strat?
Not as-is. The bridge cutout is single-coil sized and would need to be enlarged.
