Hey, Tone! Somehow I missed the post with the pix of the new pickguard. Looks super! I don't care for the tortoise shell with many colors, but it looks great with the 'burst. Nice visual upgrade!

Warren, they usually fit, the screwholes might not align perfectly, though....I just drilled new holes on mine where they didn't match!
Here's the new tortoise shell pickguard on my Strat.

I got this one for the swirl it had. It looks like a totally different guitar and I'm pleased with the results. The camera flash makes them look white but the cream pickup covers and knobs and switch really stand out against the color.

I'd been thinking of doing this for awhile but never got around to it so when I saw Warren's oldschool guitar pic and Kerc's guitar I got inspired again for some retro.![]()

I'll bill you for a new keyboard for my computer--I just drooled all over it!
It looks fantastic! The swirly "tortoise shell" looks great, and unusual. Very classic, although I've always found tortoise shell Strats to be kinda "classic rebels", because of their funky looks.
Congrats, bro.![]()
looks good....might have to get one

Warren get a Tort and be in our club. You can always shave some guard around the holes if you have to to make it fit and put some new holes in the guitar for the new guard like Kerc said. Who knows maybe you might not have to make any modifications to your new tortoise shell guard.
What a fine guitar. I love the chocolatey overtones from the pickguard, sunburst and fretboard.
TW - hey I never thought of it like that. Chocolatey. I like!
Well, I must say, food is one of my passions.
Yeah ..looks great with burst or oly too .
