Product studyFender American Standard Stratocaster 11-Hole Pickguard - Mint Green

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Refreshing a worn or cracked guard on an American Standard Strat
  • Warmer vintage-tinted look instead of stark white plastic
  • SSS pickup layouts with standard single-coil routing

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • HSS or HH Strats — the pickup cutouts will not line up
  • Squier or import Strats with 8-hole or different screw spacing
  • Anyone wanting an exact color match to an existing aged guard

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

11-hole

Screw pattern matches American Standard Strats. Vintage-style and many import bodies use 8 holes and will not align.

Detail 02

SSS cutouts

Three single-coil openings only. A humbucker will not drop in without cutting the guard.

Detail 03

Mint green

Slight green tint rather than pure white, mimicking aged nitrate. Reads warmer against sunburst and three-tone finishes.

Detail 04

Stratocaster shape

Cut for the Strat body outline and control layout: five knobs and switch positions in the standard spots.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Count your existing guard's screw holes before ordering — 11 is not universal.
  2. 02Pickups, knobs, switch and screws are not included; reuse your originals.
  3. 03Mint green varies batch to batch; two guards may not match exactly.

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit my Mexican Standard Strat?

It fits 11-hole American Standard routing. Many MIM Standards also use 11 holes, but check your own guard's screw count and pickup cutouts before ordering.

02Does it come with pickups or electronics?

No. It is the guard only. You transfer your existing pickups, pots, switch and knobs over.

03Can I use this with a humbucker in the bridge?

Not without modification. The cutouts are three single-coil sized openings, so a humbucker requires enlarging the bridge slot.

04How hard is the swap?

Straightforward with a screwdriver. Loosen strings, unscrew the guard, move the pickups and electronics across, reseat and rescrew.
