FenderLone Star Pickguard Tortoise Shell
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Tortoise shell replacement pickguard cut for a Strat-style body. A cosmetic swap for players who want to change the look.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing a white or black guard to tortoise
- Replacing a guard that's cracked, warped or yellowed
- A visual refresh without touching the electronics
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a loaded guard — pickups and wiring aren't part of this
- Non-Strat body shapes; screw holes and outline won't line up
- Players wanting a tone change — a pickguard doesn't deliver one
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
Tortoise shell pattern
Every tortoise guard has a slightly different mottling, so yours won't match photos exactly.
Detail 03
Pickguard only
You transfer your existing pickups, pots, switch and wiring onto the new guard.
Detail 04
$80.99
Above the cost of a plain plastic guard — that's what the multi-ply tortoise material runs.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Count your screw holes — 8-hole and 11-hole Strat guards are not interchangeable
- 02No pickups, controls, wiring or screws included
- 03Pickup routing varies; confirm your pickup configuration matches the cutouts
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with pickups already installed?
No. It's an unloaded guard. You move your existing pickups and wiring harness over to it.
02Will it fit my Squier or import Strat?
Not reliably. Screw hole counts and spacing vary between makers and eras. Compare against your current guard.
03How hard is the swap?
Straightforward with a screwdriver if you keep the harness intact — unscrew the old guard, transfer the assembly, screw the new one down.
04Will it change how my guitar sounds?
No. A pickguard is cosmetic and structural. Pickups, wiring and wood determine the sound.
