Fender Stratocaster 11-Hole Modern Black 3-Ply Pickguard for HSS Guitars

KevinKevin: The high-quality fabrication of this pick guard is truly impressive. It's clear that whoever makes this item pays meticulous attention to detail, as the precision fit on my guitar was flawless. Not only does it look sleek and stylish in black, but I play just a little meaner with this menacing addition to my “off the shelf” strat.

Scott Doggett: I ordered one initially for my older Strat. It arrived scratched. Sent it back. Ordered five more, hoping one would be scratch-free. And that’s what I got: One winner, four losers. Sent five of six ordered back due to scratches. Terrible quality control.

Kris: Some holes were missing where the knobs are had to drill them. There is no clear coat it's a plastic sheet that had the gloss. The back plate doesn't fit. Other than that it's ok for the price.

Michael W.: Almost no issues. The Fender humbucker screw-hole setup is different but I just drilled a small hole between the two on that one side and it works just fine. The fit around the single coils is TIGHT. If you are moving the pickups up or down, you'll have to pull or push the pickups by hand while adjusting them or file out the openings a bit. I just set them where I wanted and left it along. Screw holes all lined up perfectly. Worth every penny.

GaryGary: I replaced a white pickguard with this black guard on my American Professional 2019 Strat. Looks much better, same quality as the fender guard I removed. No fit-up problems. Reccomend watching videos on how to do this and carefully measuring height from strings to top of your pick-ups before starting.

John Jackson: I have the single coil version of the black ‘fender’ pick guard. This one showed up in terrible condition and did not look anything like the black should

ChrisWNY: I bought this pickguard for a HSS Indio classic off-brand Strat for a couple of reasons. I upgraded to an Obsidian solderless wiring kit, and the knobs did not fit the stock Indio pickguard. Secondly, the Fender pickguard is well-made - it's 3-ply and has shielding installed across the entire inner portion of the pickguard, unlike the Squier/Indio pickguards that have very little shielding tape on them.

For those who might purchase one of these to upgrade their HSS Indio guitars (especially if you decide to buy an Obsidian for it), a couple of notes. The rear of the pickguard that fits underneath the neck will need to be dremel'ed in order to fit properly, otherwise it'll overlap the trem and not sit flush on the guitar body. Shave about 1/8" off material off the neck edge of the pickguard, or use a trial & error method to get it to fit. Once it clears the tremolo, most of the pickguard screw holes will not line up (some will though). Simply screw down the holes that line up and use a small drill bit to take care of the rest. The Obsidian solderless wiring kit will NOT line up with the tone/volume knob holes in the Indio stock pickguard, but it lines up perfectly with...
