Detail 01
Three-ply eggshell/black/eggshell
The guard is specified with eggshell outer plies and a black center ply.

Independent shopping perspective
The Pure Vintage ’65 Stratocaster pickguard combines an eggshell white outer appearance with a three-ply eggshell/black/eggshell construction. It is laid out for an SSS Stratocaster and uses an 11-hole mounting specification, so the existing guitar layout matters before beginning the swap. Fender lists a nitrocellulose finish and materials associated with its original-vendor supply from the 1950s and 1960s. It suits a period-conscious guard change where those exact layout details are already accounted for.
