Good morning,

I have a Musikraft 7-string Strat HSS body, and matching neck, but no pickguard. There was a Squier Strat VII made in the early 2000s, but it’s rarer than hen’s teeth, and the various custom pickguard producers don’t have a template. They require a tracing, which I don’t have. Does anyone here have that particular guitar, and a pickguard they can trace?

Thank you.
 
FYI, in my experience (owned both), the Squier Strat VII pickguard is not exactly the same as the Musikraft 7-stg strat body. There's some difference in the perimeter curve and in the location of the middle and neck pickup locations.

I will PM you...
 
I sorta have an S-S-S template that I can trace for you.

PM me for details. You must test fit everything very carefully. The Musikraft Strat 7 body and neck I have came with multiple issues. Ultimately the neck pocket and bridge had to be shifted, so while I have a template for my specific guitar, it may not work for your guitar because I have no idea whether your neck pocket/bridge are in the same place where mine ended up.

I have the Squire VII pickguard too and confirm it won't work for the Musikraft body.

Let me dig up the template.
