YOUR CHOICE – Overall Style of Guard
*Your choice of right or left-handed / lefty guard style.

YOUR CHOICE – Guard Color/Style
*Follow this link to see our guard colors in more detail.
*Most guards are cut from 3-ply standard pickguard materials with a beveled edge (some exceptions). Layers may vary (impacts side edging color only) at our discretion.
*Mirror guards are made from an acrylic material designed to protect the mirror finish and will reflect your unique surroundings. Trans, clear, mirror, sparkle, shimmer, smoke, plexi, fluoro & other specialty style sheets are specialized fabrications, not standard pickguard materials. Please note that we do not ship mirror and specialty style guards internationally.
*Most guards come with pre-applied aluminum shielded electronics area (shape & color may vary). Specialty colors/styles may have single or double-sided protective covering without aluminum shielding so we include a separate sheet of shielding with each purchase of this style so you can choose whether/how to apply it.
*Allow and expect color and pattern variation due to photo and monitor settings as well as natural product variance. Sample images provided represent the color, pattern, or shading of these pickguards, but will not be an exact match. Specialty colors are particularly difficult to capture/show true images. We do not recommend purchasing if you are looking for a particular outcome or are trying to match an existing color/theme on your guitar. We want you to be completely satisfied with your custom pickguard and thank you for understanding that we cannot guarantee a specific look.

YOUR CHOICE – Mounting Style
*Choose from no mounting screw holes (undrilled, do-it-yourself) or standard 11-hole styles.
*Pickguard mounting screw holes are counter-sunk.

YOUR CHOICE – Bridge / Trem Cut Options
*Choose from standard or Floyd Rose cut styles.
*Floyd Rose Cut pickguards are designed for a Floyd Rose Tremolo rather than a Standard Strat Trem set-up. Guard mounting screw spacing will be adjusted appropriately for this choice as needed. Note that bridge pickup rout placement may also be adjusted (moved forward) accordingly if this option is selected in conjunction with a humbucker rout at the bridge.

YOUR CHOICE – Neck Cutout Options
*Choose a Tele or Strat neck pocket cut with or without a truss rod notch (Elite / Pro-Mod style ONLY – not for vintage or other styles).
*Standard neck cut size/style.

YOUR CHOICE – Control Options
*None (uncut/undrilled, do-it-yourself)
*Standard Blade Style Switch Cut (standard/blade/knife style)
--Choice of Countersunk SRV style or Standard Mounting Holes along with standard or Root Style positioning (this option takes the place of pot holes 2, 2.5 & 3 - select "None" for those positions if you want the Root position for a blade switch)
*Up to 6 Mini Toggle Switches
--Positioning of any options selected will be at our discretion for spacing purposes – let us know if you have a preference or request and we will try to accommodate your needs

YOUR CHOICE – Control Hole Positions
*We can send these custom guards without any holes (undrilled so you can drill how and where you like) or with pot/toggle/mini/blade switch holes drilled in the position(s) of your choice. Please check out the provided reference image for general hole placement options. If you do not want any holes or control slots drilled, simply select “NONE” on every Position Option.
--P1 – Position #1 – Standard Strat Volume Hole Position
--P1.5 – Position #1.5 – Slight Offset between P1 and P2
--P2 – Position #2 – Standard Strat Middle Tone Position
--P2.5 – Position #2.5 – Slight Offset between P2 & P3
--P3 – Position #3 – Standard Strat Bottom Tone Position
--P4 – Position #4 – Offset
*IMPORTANT NOTES
--Position #4 may not fit in all Strat routs and additional routing may be required with this selection.
--Control Pot holes are compatible with full-size or mini-pots.
--Be sure to check your control option selections and compatibility with hole selections/placement.
--Positions # 1.5 & 4 are not recommended to be selected for the same build unless using mini pots as there would not be enough space for standard control pot placement.
--If you select a blade switch for one of the positions, note that the standard blade switch cut style will be used and will take the normal amount of space for a blade switch. Generally, the blade switch will take three spots. For example, if you select a blade switch to be positioned near P3, you shouldn’t plan to have anything else in positions 2 or 2.5. We will adjust spacing as needed to comply with your order specifications as closely as possible.
--We will drill as you select. Some hole placements will not be compatible with certain routing or may be too closely positioned for standard knob sizes. It is solely your responsibility to determine and select your desired hole placements. Ask questions prior to purchase as needed.

OPTIONAL ADD-ON – Pickguard Mounting Screws
*Select this option to include mounting screws for your new guard.

~~PURCHASE NOTES~~
These guards will not fit anything other than specifically noted compatible models. They will not work with non-standard components or systems and may not work with some pickup covers/styles. Guards may not fit “Squier” “Deluxe” “Light” any Artist Series or Reissue, or anything else other than “Fender® Standard” model guitars in the years and configuration noted. Reference images are approximations and not to scale; variability is to be expected. Images provided are representations only. Non-standard selections may require body modifications. Your selections are your own – we will create your guard to order per your specifications to the extent possible.

Check measurements before purchase. Depending on your set-up, you may require adjustment. Ask in advance and we are happy to provide fit/compatibility information or make special arrangements if possible. DO NOT PURCHASE if you are unsure of your requirements, needs or ability to make any required adjustments for your newly custom designed guard.

THERE ARE NO RETURNS OR ORDER CANCELLATIONS ON CUSTOM ORDERS! Since we process orders as quickly as possible and each guard will be cut just for you, be sure of what you want and ask any questions before completing your purchase. This item is not eligible for return. It is solely your responsibility to know what you need/want and what options will work for your set-up and to ask any questions prior to purchase.

Buyers assume all risk of use; sales are only offered to those competent to safely and lawfully purchase and use items.

Allow and expect variation in color due to photo and monitor settings as well as natural product variance.

Ask any questions regarding colors, materials, options, measurements, installation, requirements, special requests, etc. prior to purchase.

Note that we do not recommend installation using power tools as these can put too much force on the product and cause damage. Take your time for installation; do not use power tools and do not over-tighten screws or other components. If you elect to drill or cut your own controls or holes, please be aware that some guards are extremely difficult to drill yourself if you do not have experience or proper tools. This is especially true for mirror, clear, sparkle and specialty color/style materials.

Any use, modification or damage to a guard invalidates your ability to make a return.
