Musiclily 11 Hole SSS Strat Pickguard Scratch Plate for Fender USA/Mexican Made Standard Stratocaster Modern Style Electric Guitar, Tortoise Shell 4Ply

Compliments to Musiclily for prompt replies to questions! For this pickguard, consider replacing countersink-style pickup height screws with M3-20 flathead screws. Otherwise, you'll want to countersink holes for the six height screws thus removing pickguard material and risking cracks in the guard. BTW, pickguard screw holes on '22 Fender Squier Affinity Stratocaster bodies align nicely with this pickguard. Photos will follow after loading the guard with Wilkinson Vintage pickups, the Freeway 10-way switch, upgraded pots, caps, resistors, and knobs. Thanks Musiclily!See above the pickguard installed. Holes aligned in all locations. Note: as this project guitar will have several additional mods this year, I've left on the two layers of protective film.

The price was excellent. Fits perfectly

Fits, looks good

Overall, it's a decent pickguard and a good value for the money. I installed it on a Squier Classic Vibe 60's Strat. I was under the impression these used pretty standard parts/etc and should fit. And it does fit for the most part. 10/11 screw holes are bang on; one is very far off. The top middle hole is about a half inch from where the stock hole location was. I had to drill a new hole. The tremolo cutout is off-center and required some shaving to fit properly. Finally, the pickup screw holes were not countersunk. Not sure if this is standard or not, but it was a quick fix.Overall, it's good for the money.

Nice quality, shielded, holes all lined up. 2014 anniversary edition American fender strat. Allowed me to move my volume pot out of the way without ruining the factory pickguard. Plus I kinda like the way it looks. Makes the guitar unique

I ordered this pickguard as a replacement for my MIM strat. It's a solid guard at a fraction of brand prices. All the holes lined up perfectly and it looks great. I will be buying all my pickguards from Musiclily from now on.

Beautiful abalone pattern and colors, matched perfectly with my copper Fender Roadhouse Deluxe Strat. 11 hole pattern matched exactly with just a tiny bit of interference with factory tremolo at edge of pickguard. I haven't even modified it because it doesn't really affect tremolo operation unless you try to dive bomb with it and even then it's a minor annoyance.

I build out Fender and Squier guitars, mostly Stratocasters, as a hobby. Usually I "rescue" abused and neglected instruments from pawn shops for cheap, then I rebuild them to specifications far beyond their original factory condition.The pickguards on these guitars are usually damaged and have to be replaced... and that can get expensive, so I searched Chinese manufacturers on Amazon for a lower-priced source. Unfortunately, I learned through trial and error that most Chinese Strat pickguards are junk. They're thin, cheap feeling and often have non-standard hole placement.The Musiclily pickguards are an entirely different story. I have purchased several of these Strat pickguards, both solid and pearl colors, and have been very pleased. First of all, the Musiclily pickguards are as good as (and occasionally better) than the original manufacturer's products. For example: The typical Squier solid color pickguard is 2.0mm thick and the Squier pearl pickguard is 2.3mm. The "standard" American and Mexican OEM pickguards are about 2.3mm thick and the pearls are about 2.45mm. The solid color Musiclily pickguards are 2.3mm and the pearls are 2.5mm.The Musiclily pickguards are cleanly cut and beveled with no ragged edges. They are fully shielded, covering both the pickups and the controls. The solid color pickups are three layers (i.e. black/white/black) and the pearl and tortoise shells are four layers (white/black/white/pearl). They also come with two layers of protective plastic on top to prevent shop/installation damage.My only complaint regarding this pickguard is that the user must cut out the parts of the aluminum shielding that cover the holes for the pots and the switch. It is a hassle to trim these parts with a hobby knife, but the price differential more than compensates for the inconvenience.I have tested the Musiclily Strat pickguards and found that they are fully compatible with American and Mexican Stratocasters, as well as many Squier models. I have placed them on the following guitars without having to drill or modify in any way: Fender American Standard, Fender Mexican Standard, Chinese Squier SE and a vintage Japanese model. It will NOT fit on a Korean Strat or a few other Squier models.See the attached photos of a my "All Musiclily" Chinese Squier Stratocaster SE with a Musiclily tortoise shell pickguard with Musiclily Railblaster pickups, 250k pots, five-way switch, locking tuners and Strat knobs. It plays great and only cost me about $110, including the purchase of the guitar at the pawn shop and all the Musiclily components.

The media could not be loaded.  It came quick and we'll packed but that's Amazon tha usually works pretty amazing. The pickguar seems solid but the cut is not very good, I had to sand it down on the right side. Only 3 out of 11 holes are in the right position but even though this is the first time I have bought a pickguard I've read a lot of reviews about pickguards (including proper Fenders brand) and it seems to be a normal thing, apparently everybody drills the guitars to make the holes match. The appearance is good though. So, solid, wrongly cut, holes don't much and decent look.

Perfect fit on a 2017 Mexican Strat. Couple of the hole were just the tiniest bit out of line but the screws still went in totally straight so not distortion or twisting of the pickguard at all. Highly recommended and have also ordered a Musiclily hss version of the same.

This was very good value - under nine pounds delivered by prime - single ply matte black - the holes lined up exactly for my 2003 MIM and it's full lined.

product took ten days to arrive , and then had to sink some of the screw holes otherwise the screws off my fender stratocaster would be raised. one good thing is that the holes all matched up

Fitted perfectly, excellent product.
