~~ITEM DESCRIPTION~~
Choose your own options and styles and we’ll cut a custom pickguard just for you. These guards are designed to work with Mini Humbuckers -pickups that are approximately 68mm in length (74.5mm mounting screw spacing) and 28mm in width. You can select up to four Mini Bucker pickup slots for this guard. Be sure to make sure your body routing will work for the configuration you choose. All guards are designed to work with Fender Standards US/MIM 2002 & Newer.

See details below for each pickguard option selection offered. Check the product images for general reference and options. Click this link to see each guard color in more detail if desired.

Note that not all mini humbuckers are the same size so be sure to check your pickup measurements. Ask any questions prior to purchase as custom orders are non-returnable and non-refundable.

Check below in the related items section on this page for information about our Mini Bucker pickups and to get information on having this guard prewired and loaded in whichever configuration you need.

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) and have a protective film surface cover that should be carefully removed after installation. 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 color 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. 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.

YOUR CHOICE – Mounting Style
*Choose from no mounting screw holes (undrilled, do-it-yourself), conversion 8-hole (8 hole look without needing to drill new holes), vintage 8-hole, 11-hole 62 pattern or standard 11-hole styles.
*Pickguard mounting screw holes are counter-sunk.
*A reference image is provided to give general locations for these mounting hole options. Pay close attention to hole #5 for 8-hole options and hole #11 for 62 pattern consideration. Be sure to select the correct guard mounting style for your guitar or select None (Undrilled) so you can place these mounting holes where you need them.

YOUR CHOICE – Bridge / Trem Cut Options
*Choose from standard or Floyd Rose cut styles or select "None (uncut)" if you do not wish to have a trem space routed.
*Standard trem cut options can be selected with standard bridge pickup rout placement or with forward placement ~ 5/8” from trem cut (Lonestar Style).
*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. Contact us for more information if needed or to confirm requirements for your project.

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).

Please check out the provided reference image for general hole placement options. If you do not want any holes drilled, simply select “NONE” on every Position Option.

*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.
--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 – Matching Trem Cover
*Select this option if you would like a matching trem cover (cut from the same material sheet). This will provide you with the closest possible match to your new guard. Trem covers purchased separately may or may not match as well.

~~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 will 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.

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. We encourage you 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 other specialty color/style materials.

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