A
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.
Another important feature of our
Black 1 Ply 0.120" Acrylic pickguard is the rounded and polished
edge. Typical pickguards have a beveled 45°
edge. Our Black 1 Ply 0.120" Acrylic pickguard is exactly
the same as you find on the
original Black Strat as well as the Fender Custom
Shop versions. You won't find this rounded and
polished edge characteristic
on others offering a similar product, they are
simply using a typical 0.090" vinyl pickguard with
the 45° beveled edge
that you find on just about every Strat pickguard.
The rounded and polished pickguard edge is only
available on our Black 1 Ply 0.120" Acrylic pickguards.
The correct pickup and 5-way switch
mounting screws for this pickguard are the round head
style since the pickup and 5-way switch mounting holes
are not countersunk. We offer two purchase options for
these screws, chrome plated and
stainless steel.

Your Choice Of Pickguard
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are planning on using a 22
fret neck with your Black Strat project some body and
neck combinations may
experience clearance issues with the 22'nd fret overhang
coming in contact with the surface of either of the
0.120" thick Acrylic pickguards. So we offer an
alternate All Black 1 Ply
0.090" Vinyl Pickguard that will clear
the 22'nd fret overhang without issues. this pickguard
is available in either the standard 11 hole or the
vintage 8 hole versions and is shielded in the control
area only. However, if you can measure the clearance
between this 22 fret overhang and the top of your
current 0.90" thick 3 ply pickguard and you can measure at least 0.035" then the
Black 1 Ply 0.120" Rounded and Polished Edge Acrylic
pickguard should work fine.
Typical automotive feeler gauges should work fine to
determine this clearance.

Typical turn-around time from order placement to
shipment is 3-7 business days. Holiday work-loads
sometimes may increase turn-around time, but keep in
mind, we don't waste any time in getting these prepared,
packed and shipped on their way to you.

NOTE:
A
characteristic we sometimes find in
Acrylic pickguards are very
small imperfections in the surface, typically they are
very small and round in appearance and average in
size like this dot in the quotes --> "
. ".
This characteristic is not something we can consider as
defective and will not accept a pickguard in return for
refund or
exchange since we can't send them back to the manufacturer,
they tell us it is normal characteristic of the casting
or extrusion process. We won't hand select a pickguard
to determine if it does or does not have this
characteristic, that would require removing the surface
protective film from each pickguard. We wanted to
make sure you were aware of such possibilities if you
find one of these in your particular pickguard.
