Description

Description

Designed for Stratocaster models with three single coil pickups, this 5-ply pickguard combines classic Fender styling with a refined, natural twist. Whether you are refreshing a well-loved instrument or finishing a custom build, it offers a simple, effective way to personalise your guitar without any permanent modification.

Real Rosewood, Real Character

Made with genuine rosewood, this pickguard gives your Strat a unique, boutique look. The natural grain pattern means no two pieces are exactly alike, so your guitar will stand out visually while still looking authentically Fender. The rosewood layers add a touch of luxury that pairs beautifully with a wide range of body colours and finishes.

Modern 11-Hole Fit

Precision-cut with a modern 11-hole mounting pattern, this pickguard is designed to fit most contemporary Stratocaster guitars with three single coil pickups. The accurate routing for pickups and controls helps ensure a clean, straightforward installation, letting you upgrade your guitar’s appearance with minimal fuss.

Durable 5-Ply Construction

The 5-ply laminate (Rosewood / Black / White / Black / Rosewood) combines the visual appeal of real wood with the stability of high-quality PVC. This layered construction helps the pickguard stay flat and robust over time, protecting your guitar’s finish from pick wear while maintaining a premium look.

Shielded for Reduced Noise

An aluminium shielding layer on the back of the pickguard helps to reduce unwanted noise and hum. This added shielding support can contribute to a cleaner signal, especially in environments with lots of electrical interference, helping your Strat’s single coils sound as clear and defined as possible.

Key Features

Genuine Rosewood Aesthetic – Real rosewood on the outer layers gives each pickguard a distinctive, natural woodgrain look. This makes every Strat fitted with it visually unique while still retaining that unmistakable Fender vibe.
5-Ply Laminated Construction – The Rosewood / Black / White / Black / Rosewood laminate combines strength and style. The multi-ply build improves rigidity and durability, helping the pickguard resist warping and providing long-lasting protection for your guitar’s top.
Modern 11-Hole SSS Layout – Designed for three single coil pickups with a modern 11-screw pattern, this pickguard is tailored for most modern Stratocaster models. The accurate routing for pickups and controls supports a tidy, professional-looking installation.
Integrated Aluminium Shielding – Aluminium shielding on the reverse side helps to cut down on hum and interference. This can contribute to a quieter, more stable performance, particularly under stage lights or in studios with lots of electronic equipment.

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.
