ProlineS-Style Hum-Single-Single 3-Ply Pickguard Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A black three-ply pickguard cut for Strat-style guitars with a humbucker in the bridge and single-coils in the middle and neck. Replacement or cosmetic swap.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refreshing a scratched or faded pickguard on an S-style guitar
- Guitars already wired humbucker-single-single that need a cosmetic change
- Builders assembling a partscaster with an HSS layout
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- SSS or HSH guitars, since the pickup cutouts won't match
- Non-Strat body shapes, where the outline and screw holes differ
- Anyone wanting a loaded pickguard with pickups included
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
3-ply construction
Black-white-black layering gives a visible beveled edge stripe when the outer edge is chamfered.
Detail 03
S-style outline
Cut to Stratocaster-style body contours and screw pattern. Fit on other shapes or import bodies is not guaranteed.
Detail 04
Black finish
Hides pick scratches and finger marks better than white or pearloid over time.
Detail 05
Unloaded
Bare plastic only. Pickups, pots, switch, jack, and wiring all transfer from your old guard or come separately.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Count and photograph your screw holes first; guard hole counts vary between 8 and 11
- 02No pickups, pots, switch, or wiring included
- 03You may need to slightly enlarge holes or trim edges for a clean fit
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Squier or Mexican Strat?
It's cut to S-style dimensions, but screw hole counts and positions vary by year and model. Compare against your existing guard before ordering.
02Does it come with pickups?
No. This is the bare pickguard. You move your existing pickups, pots, switch, and wiring over, or buy those separately.
03Can I use this if my guitar has three single-coils?
Not without changing pickups. The bridge opening is a humbucker-sized rectangle, so a single-coil would leave a gap around it.
04How hard is the swap?
It's a screwdriver and soldering job. If you transfer the whole loaded assembly intact, you may only need to move the output jack wires.
