Strat American Deluxe - Bakelite

A replacement pickguard for Fender's Humbucker/Single/Single American Deluxe instrument. Featuring a compound radius fretboard, N3 Noiseless pickups, a bridge humbucker for thick lead tones and a revised switching system, now you can select a replacement pickguard from a whole host of different colours and designs. As standard Fender ship these HSS Deluxe guitars with just brown Tortoiseshell, black or mint green pickguards so now is the chance to customise your Deluxe and make it unique. Please note that the bridge Humbucker slot has rounded corners for open-bobbin Humbuckers only (no cover) in addition to having 2 + 1 pickup mounting specifically to accommodate Fender's Atomic Humbucking Pickup.

This template will also fit the Fender USA Professional Stratocaster HSS models. Need a pickguard for your Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker Elite guitar? Simply order this pickguard but contact us after the order has gone through to say that you need it for your Elite HSS and we'll be sure to add a Passing lane switch hole and trussrod thumbwheel adjuster slot in the neck pocket. PLEASE NOTE: you will have to remove the housing for the passing lane switch from your original pickguard and use it on the replacement guard that we supply. Fender glue this housing to the pickguard at the factory.

Made from genuine paper phenolic bakelite measuring 2mm thick and does not have any outer bevel around the edge of the pickguard.ÌÎÌ__
