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

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.

Literal perfect fit not a single mod needed. Looks great.

Bought pick guards from Musiclily for my Jazz basses already and love the look and easy upgrade. Recently picked up a 2023 Fender Player Strat and wanted to do the same.Same quality product and great fit, even shielded on the back the same as the original. Just be aware it's a little more complicated on a guitar, I didn't realize the pickups mount directly to the pick guard! Be sure to mark the pickup height with tape before you loosen any screws so you can put it all back the way it was.

Disclosure: I bought this for a made in Mexico (MIM) Stratocaster Squire out of desperation. Standard Strat parts are everywhere, but Squire specific parts, especially those MIM, are nearly impossible to find. This pick-guard is advertised for MIM Strats and was inexpensive so I went for it.The fit is in fact perfect, no filing required at the neck portion of the pick-guard to clear the base of the guitar neck. However, the mounting screw holes do not line up. Squires are just slightly different from standard Strats - MIM or otherwise.As for the product: The aluminum foil grounding plane in back extends to all the pickups and electronics. Also, this pick-guard follows the standard Strat convention where the pickup and selector switch screws are flush-mounted, not beveled into the pick-guard like the mounting screws. Overall a good quality pick-guard. Just be aware that, while fitting a MIM guitar, this is not a replacement designed for the Squire specifically and will require hole filling and drilling to mount it. 4 stars only out of frustration with the whole MIM/Squire differences thing. This pick-guard will work though!

I recently picked up a limited edition fiesta red player series strat and wanted to go for 1 ply Cream with Aged White knobs and pickup covers, but was having a hard time finding 1ply Cream. I saw that most of the reviews for this product were positive, and decided to go for it.The cream color is spot on and really compliments the fiesta red with aged white appointments. All screw holes line up perfectly with player series spec, and the shielding on the back of the pickguard was more than adequate so I didn't have to break out the copper tape.It looks beautiful, and I highly recommend these pickguards for anyone looking for a replacement for your player series strat.

Loojed like decent quality but didn't use it, color didn't work for my Strat. Didn't check hole alignment.

Perfect fit on my 2011 Fender Strat.

Looks cool. Arrived damaged - still used it cuz it looks cool tho 3/5
