IKN 11 Hole Strat HSS Pickguard Guitar Scratch Plate for American/Mexican Made Standard Strat Modern Style Guitar Replacement, 1Ply Silver Mirror

I put this on a squire strat HSs, fits great, looks great, great quality

I had to use an auger to allow bigger screws to fit, as my humbucker could not thread small screws. As for the pickguard it looks great, and fit on my Indonesian made Squier surprisingly well, better than the stock pickguard actually. And it is compatible with humbucker covers as seen in the photos.

Bought this to replace the original white pickguard on a Mexico made strat. Like I have heard before, the hole for the humbucker is cut in the wrong place. The hole is back towards the bridge about 1/4" farther than the factory pickguard. I have heard other reviewers complain about this and the seller tell them they are wrong, that this pickguard is for newer American and Mexican strats. They are both right, sort of. I also bought a white pickguard for my American strat, and it is cut the same way. The back edge of the hole for the humbucker on my Mexican strat was routed straight, and with the pickguard loaded, it dropped right in the Mexican strat. My American strat originally came with a single coil in the bridge position, but the body is routed for a humbucker. The back edge on the American strat was not routed straight, and was a little curved. This would not be a problem for a Fender HSS pickguard, because the hole for the humbucker is cut about 1/4" farther forward than the IKN pickguard. For my American strat, I have to tilt the humbucker back at an angle to get it to drop in the guitar body. Once it clears it is fine, and does not hit the body under the pickguard.I have uploaded 2 photos to show what I mean by the pickguard not being cut properly. The first one shows the red IKN on top of the original Fender pickguard. Everything lines up perfectly, except for the humbucker hole. The photo shows about 1/4" of white at the back edge of the hole, The 2nd photo shows the original white Fender pickguard on top of the IKN guard. All the holes line up perfectly, except for the humbucker hole. The 1/4" of red shows the hole is too far back towards the bridge.This pickguard looks really great, and except for the humbucker hole, is drilled and cut perfectly. I had not problems installing this pickguard in my 2009 Mexican strat. My American strat was a different story.If you have a newer Mexican of American made strat, this should work. If your model says Vintage, this will not work unless you want to re-route your body cavity. Beautiful pickguard at a great price. I also like the assortment of colors. You can even get this in pink pearloid.

I did have to sand a bit because I was installing a trembucker, however this pickguard has the correct route between the humbucker and the bridge to fit the early MIM 92-93 Stratocasters. The aged pearl does not look aged, btw... if this is aged then the white pearl must be blindingly white, but either way, great pickguard.

No instructions included. I used YouTube although the video I watched failed to show what all is involved. The pickguard looks sharp. Just make sure to take off the plastic wrap covering when done. Guitar looks super sharp now (see pic). Installed on 07 MIM Strat. Make sure you get the right one with the 2 single coil and one HH. It comes with a bunch of screws, but they are all the same length. When you take the old pick guard off, you'll notice the screws next to the pickups are longer and skinnier. I was able to reuse the old screws but I wanted to put new ones on. Not a huge deal but would have liked to have all the proper parts.First time installer, never taken a guitar apart. So I will say its a bit more complicated and trickier than it looks. Really make sure you pay attention to where everything goes. When I took it off there were some little rubber nubs that fell off. Also a few small springs. I figured the pickup screws go through these so you can adjust the pickup height. Again, first time installer so I figured all of this out, but just use caution. Take your time. It honestly took me about an hour to do it, but glad I did it. Guitar does look awesome and for a really small price.

At first glance it looks fine, however the bridge humbucker slot is cut to close to the bridge route. I measure about 8.5mm to from the pickup route to the bridge route. 10mm would be more appropriate. I will have to remove a little bit of wood from my the guitar to make it fit correctly. This is not a big deal for me(other than the sheer inconvenience), but if you don't want to cut into your guitar, you'll want to look somewhere else.

I wanted to change it up a bit. This worked well.

Didn't expect much for $11 on Amazon. It looks great, quality build for the price. I saw comments that holes didn't line up at all.. Mine did line up well (Squire, bullet - strat) Just a few outside screws had to start thread sideways but eventually corrected. 'Went from silver sparkle to Red Tortoise'. It did not include the pickups 'machined' screws, had to use the old ones.I would buy again..!

the route for the humbucker is cut in a bit closer to the font edge of the bridge than a standard US strat, so be prepared if yours is and you will if you dare, have to cur approx 1/8 inch back to widen the route tofit the pickup.Also, you will be getting a tiny bit more treble as the pole pieces will be that much closer to the bridge.

アメスタに取り付けました。何の加工も無しに問題なく取り付けできました。質感もよく気に入っています。

I originally bought a sss pickguard for this 2002 mim strat. After removing old pickguard noticed that I can use a hss pickguard. I had a sh-13 dimebucker that I had always wish I could put in this guitar because it's one of my favorite guitar to play. So I ordered the hss pickguard and ever glad I did it fits perfectly no modifications required. It came with spare screws for pickguard. And in my opinion looks great.

2年位前のメキシコ製に取り付けました。ネック、ビス穴位置問題なく付きました。特に安っぽい感じも無く、満足しています

This product was exactly as described and is excellent quality. For the price you won't find anything better. I be back for a tele pickguard soon.
