## Description

One of the easiest ways to change the look of your Fender instrument is to replace the pickguard. This pickguard fits American, American Standard, American Deluxe, American Special, Highway One, Road Worn, Deluxe Player, Blacktop, Standard, Deluxe and Modern Player series Stratocaster guitars with three single-coil pickups (also fits Squier Standard series Stratocaster models 2004-present).

Review: Nail'd It! - I do a lot of work on guitars and swapping/replacing plastics seems to be a constant. I have grown accustomed to having to modify most every pickguard I replace. The after-market parts are usually just sloppy - including some of the manufacturer made stuff. Its not a big deal, mostly a set-back in time and convenience. I am extremely happy to say that this Fender pickguard replacement is amazing!!! Everything is right about it; the fit, the pattern, the look, the ease of install. I got the aged White Moto (aged white pearloid) piece. It is a true Fender part and an exact match to the white Fender pickguard I replaced on my 2019 Fender America Pro Strat. It could not have been easier. I cant speak for Squiers or any other Fender or other brand Strat style guitars, but its a perfect fit on the American Professional. Thank you Fender! Highly recommend.

Fits Squier Strat perfectly. Always check the number of screws on you guitar before ordering a pickguard.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks correct, but does it fit?
*by L***. on July 18, 2019*

Ok look. You're probably reading the reviews wondering two things: 1) Will this fit my guitar? 2) Is the mint green color an accurate representation of the aged celluoid pickguards of the 50's & 60's? The color is spot on. It isn't too green at all. In fact, in some lights I can't even really tell if it is off white or green. Now -- Genuine Stratocaster pickguards did change over the years. The general outer outline and pickup locations remained the same. The biggest differences are the screw hole locations. It will still fit any Fender or Squier Stratocaster type guitar without a Floyd Rose locking type tremolo, but you may have to drill some new holes. As for a non Fender Strat-like-object, it probably will but you're just going to have to buy this and hold it up against the old one to find out. Drilling new holes is easy. Put a few screws in the holes that DO line up and use a 1/16” (~1.5mm) drill bit. Attach a piece of tape 1/2” (~13mm) up the bit as a drill stop. If there are holes that are slightly off center, you'll need to fill those holes and redrill. Not as complicated as it sounds. Check YouTube for how to do this. This is a quality made piece, it's a great match for color and the one I received doesn't seem to be counterfeit. Looks like legit Fender.
