Replacement Pickguard for Stratocaster?? Best place to get?

[boost]

If it's a Fender Strat, then I would go with Fender. I have a Fender mother of toilet seat pickguard that is 25 years old and has been on and off guitars countless times. No cracks, very little warping. Color aged very nicely too.

You could save money on pickguards at GFS and other sites, but I think it could be a crap shoot whether the holes line up, shape is exact, etc. You might get lucky though. I'd rather spend a little extra and not have to drill any new holes or do any additional sanding or routing on the pickguard to get them to fit properly.

WD had a nice selection and I remember using them in the past without any issues too.

Greasy Groove has a cool selection of pickguards. I bought a tailguard from them. Cool guard, but had a odd humbucker route that I needed to fix. Not worth sending it back to Canada.

Warmoth. Ordered several from them. Holes line up as long as it is going on MIA strat

All of mine are Warmoth.
Website is easy to maneuver as well.

I've used Warmoth and these guys: http://pickguards.com/

No issues with Warmoth, but the pickguards.com folks are great to work with and will customize your guard any way you want it (custom pickup routs, custom knob/switch placement, etc). Unless things have changed, with Warmoth you have to stick with their standard templates.

Warmoth, but I'd leave that one white personally.

Beautiful Strat Rez. I think a white pearloid would look pretty sharp.

I like the white but mint would look great too, I think. I'm dying for a american deluxe V neck in fiesta red right now... Yours looks sweet!

I have Warmoth, which have been good, but I've also had good luck with pickguards from Terrapin Guitars. http://www.terrapinguitars.com/
