Strat® Guitar Pickguard
Note:
These pickguards fit American, Japanese and Mexican Strats®. There are many Strat® clones. If it isn't a Fender®, Proceed With Caution!
ATTENTION: If you are putting a Volume Knob in the Control 1 position you cannot put a P-90 Pickup in the Bridge Position.
Fender imports are generally built to US specifications, but are NOT always 100% compatible… The perimeter
mounting holes may be in slightly different locations. No big deal if you don't mind plugging and redrilling 3 to 4 holes (not likely to adversely impact the collector's value). Other than these perimeter holes, everything else is usually compatible.

When ordering a replacement pickguard, pay particular attention to the location of screw hole #5. This is the only hole that varies in location.
Specify the pattern you want when ordering.
The 8-hole conversion model has the basic 8-hole look, but #5 is in the newer ('59 and later) positions. No "new" holes are required
when changing an 11-hole pickguard to an 8-hole conversion model. Note that some hole locations on replacement pickguards may vary from the original.
