Is it possible to purchase the pickguard that came on the special edition black and chrome squires? I want a chrome pickguard but don't want to drill any holes to make one fit.

Most likely dude.. You're gonna have to drill a couple of holes anyway even if you do find what you're looking for.

In all honesty, it's not that hard to do. Take a small drill bit (usually a little smaller than 1/8" diameter) and hold it next to the screw. Put a piece of electrical tape around the drill bit right about the hight of the screw. Drill untill the piece of tape hits the surface, on to the next hole. The scew holes are always covered by the pickguard even though the holes might be in different spots. Nobody ever notices or cares. I've bought used guitars that have had a number of holes drilled under the pickguard and think nothing of it. Hell.. I didn't even know until I took the pickguard off. :wink:

I was just thinking if I could find the one from the black and chrome Squier then I wouldn't have to drill holes. I found the 11 hole fender pickguards but no luck on the Squier's. I may just order an 11 hole since they are easily found. One question though.I know on some things you need to put masking tape where you drill so it doesn't crack the paint outwards....do I have to do this on the guitar?
