I don't know if you can find an exact replacement, unless someone has one off the same guitar on eBay or something, but GuitarFetish is a good site for import guitar parts. There are also places where you can get custom ones made with a tracing of the guard you are looking to replace. However, it is not unusual to have to drill some new holes when replacing/changing pickguards, so don't worry if the holes don't line up...

I am not sure, because sometimes Fender parts do fit Squiers, and sometimes they don't...

Right here:

That guard has 11 holes. The OP said his guard has 8 holes. Bullet Vs. Affinity.

Dont warmoth cut exactly what you want?

If not my mate does but you gotta send it to the UK.

He makes parts for vintage Hofners and pedals for Billy Gibbons, a strat scratchplate is nothing to him.

Tell him Nick sent you.

No offense intended man. I was just pointing out that the guard you posted a link to had 11 holes. I'll not pretend to know the slightest thing about a squire, I dont! I do know that the OP says he has a Bullet (8 holes) and the link you posted was listed as an Affinity (with 11 holes). I just didnt want the guy to go buying something that wasnt going to work (erroneously posted by the seller or otherwise). Sincerest apologies!

I too suspect they just posted the wrong picture to the affinity listing. Glad there was no harm done! :)
