The most significant feature of this pickguard is the recessed mini toggle switch. It's a unique feature that is synonymous with David Gilmour and his Black Strat. We don't glue ours to the back side of the pickguard with a piece of plastic or sheet metal, we use a sturdy piece of custom formed stainless steel that is strong and easily mountable underneath the volume and tone potentiometers. It is not a permanent piece of the pickguard, but when installed becomes an integral part of it.

If you are planning on using a 22 fret neck you will experience clearance issues with the 22nd fret overhang coming in contact with the surface of the thicker 0.120" Acrylic pickguard. So we offer an alternate pickguard that will not present these issues, it is a 0.090" thick all black 1 ply vinyl pickguard.  This pickguard is only shielded in the control area.
