I just got a Classic Vibe 50s Stratocaster in the 2-tone sunburst color, but I'm thinking of trying to get a black pickguard so it'll look a little more like this.

I've looked on Squier's website and on Amazon, and it looks like it needs an 8-hole type of pickguard in 1-ply, but they only have 8-hole 3-ply on Amazon, will that work?

Any other suggestions for mods?

I just replied to your post in the strat forum. FYI, since you new here, some people will get ticked if you post things in more than 1 forum.

Krylon flat black indoor/outdoor spray paint is available at Walmart for like $1.99. Since you are going for a relic'ed look, this spray paint dries to a cool looking Matte finish. I have used it on two pickguards. It is not glossy at all. It adhered perfectly with no sanding at all. All you lose is the 3 ply look, but I think that my sunburst strat looks way cooler without the 3 ply.

If you are going to trash the other pickguard, you might as well give it a try. It was a well spent $2 for me.

I personally love how it looks, and of course, it fits perfectly with no other worries.
