Harley Benton Parts Pickguards SSS WP

I bought this to do a face lift on my squire strat. Some of you may find that it fits straight on but I had to do some minor filing to get it to fit. My advice is to take your old face plate and put it below the new plate and use it as a template to mark any material you need to remove. The plastic is easy to work with so a half round file could be all you will need. There is some foil shielding on the back of the plate near the holes for the 3 pots and the selector switch but you may want to add a bit more to try and cut down on unwanted noise.
The pearl pattern is very pretty and well worth the money.

Purchased to fit a Squire Bullet. The pearl finish is fun and dramatically upgrades the look of the Bullet. The pickguard is nicely made and far superior to the cheap piece of plastic that came off. Fit was pretty good, three mounting holes around the neck were slightly out and needed plugging and re-drilling, but I suuspect this was more to do with the build quality of the Squire and not a fault of the Harley Benton part.

What was a nuisance, the mounting holes for the pickups and selector switch had not been counter-sunk - unlike the others. I don't know if real Fenders have surface sitting screws. Either way, to make it all sit right a counter-sink bit was needed.

But a mod. well worth it.
