FenderAmerican Standard Strat Pickguard 11 Hole White Pearl
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement 11-hole pickguard for American Standard Stratocasters, cut for three single-coils. For players restoring a worn guard or changing the look.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swapping a scratched or yellowed guard on an American Standard Strat
- Changing a Strat's look without touching wiring or hardware
- Keeping a spare on hand for gigging instruments
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Strats with HSS or HH routing — the cutouts won't line up
- Vintage 8-hole Strats or squier-spec bodies with different screw layouts
- Anyone expecting a tone change; a guard doesn't alter sound
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 cutout
Three single-coil openings only. A humbucker in the bridge will not drop in without cutting the plastic.
Detail 03
White pearl
Pearloid celluloid look rather than flat white. Reads warmer and more figured under stage light than plain white plastic.
Detail 04
American Standard fit
Cut to that body outline. Other Strat-style bodies vary slightly at the horns and neck pocket edge.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pickguard only — no pickups, switch, knobs, or screws included
- 02You'll transfer your existing electronics over; a soldering iron may be needed
- 03Slight sanding at the neck pocket is common on any guard swap
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Mexican-made Strat?
It's cut for American Standard bodies. Many modern Strats share the 11-hole layout, but outlines vary slightly, so check your screw count and expect minor fitting.
02Does it come with pickups?
No. It's the plastic guard alone. You move your existing pickups, switch, pots, and knobs across.
03How many layers is it?
It's a pearl-finish Fender guard for American Standard Strats. Confirm ply thickness against your current guard if you're matching an exact edge look.
04Do I need to solder anything?
Only if your pickups are wired to a component mounted on the guard. Otherwise it's unscrew, transfer, rescrew.
