Description

Give your Stratocaster a serious visual upgrade with the Fender Hybrid Glass Glitter Stratocaster SSS Pickguard in Dark Grey Sparkle. Blending glass glitter with traditional sparkle in a 50/50 mix, this USA made, 4 ply pickguard delivers a deep, multi dimensional shimmer that transforms your guitar under stage lights and in the studio, while retaining full modern Strat functionality.

Precision cut for a standard Stratocaster SSS layout, this pickguard is ready to drop into most modern 11 hole Strats, with aluminium shielding on the rear to help keep noise and hum in check. Durable PVC construction, clean routing and a protective masking film on top make installation straightforward, so you can focus on playing rather than wrestling with parts.

Hybrid Glass Glitter Finish

The standout feature is the unique hybrid finish, combining glass glitter and classic sparkle in equal measure. This creates a rich, layered look that catches and reflects light from every angle, giving your Strat a premium custom shop vibe without any permanent modification. The dark grey sparkle shade adds attitude and sophistication, working equally well with classic colours and more adventurous finishes.

Modern Stratocaster Fit

Designed as a genuine Fender replacement, this pickguard features modern style 11 hole mounting and standard SSS pickup and control routing. That means it will fit most modern Stratocaster guitars that use this layout, letting you refresh a tired scratchplate or complete a new build with factory correct dimensions and screw spacing.

Durable 4 Ply Construction

Made in the USA from high quality PVC, the 4 ply Sparkle / Black / White / Black construction offers both strength and a smart visual edge line around the perimeter. It is built to handle regular gigging, rehearsals and home use, resisting warping and keeping your Strat looking sharp for the long haul.

Shielded and Ready to Install

An aluminium shielding layer on the back of the pickguard helps reduce unwanted noise and hum, supporting cleaner, quieter performance from your pickups. Fender also includes a thin masking film on the top surface, protecting the finish from scratches and marks during installation. Simply fit the guard, wire it up, then peel off the film for a flawless shine.

Key Features

  • Hybrid Glass Glitter and Sparkle Finish – The 50/50 blend of glass glitter and traditional sparkle delivers exceptional depth and shimmer, giving your Strat a distinctive, high end custom look that stands out on stage and in photos.
  • Genuine Fender SSS Replacement – As an official Fender Stratocaster SSS pickguard, it offers accurate routing and dimensions, helping ensure a clean fit on most modern 11 hole Strats without guesswork.
  • 4 Ply USA Made PVC Construction – The Sparkle / Black / White / Black 4 ply build provides durability and a crisp visual border, so your pickguard not only looks great but is built to withstand regular playing and handling.
  • Aluminium Shielding and Protective Film – Rear aluminium shielding helps tame noise and hum, while the removable top masking film keeps the finish pristine during installation for a professional final result.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

SSS

SSS describes a pickup configuration using three single-coil pickups, typically found on Strat-style electric guitars. This layout offers a wide range of tonal options by allowing different pickup combinations, including the classic in-between positions that blend two pickups together.

Tonally, SSS setups are known for bright, clear, and articulate sounds with plenty of high-end detail and dynamic response. They are popular in blues, funk, pop, indie, and classic rock, particularly for clean and lightly driven tones where clarity, sparkle, and expressive playing feel are important.

Stratocaster

The Fender Strat – Stratocaster is one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, celebrated for its sleek design, versatility, and instantly recognisable tone. Introduced in 1954, its contoured double-cutaway body, three single-coil pickups, and tremolo bridge set a new standard for comfort and sound flexibility. The Strat’s bright, expressive voice has defined countless genres, from blues and surf rock to funk and modern pop. Played by legends like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and David Gilmour, the Stratocaster remains a symbol of creativity and innovation, offering players endless tonal possibilities and a timeless feel that continues to inspire generations.
