I have a Stratocaster project that I'm building with a 1994 MIM Stratocaster Special body and a neck from a left-handed 1996 MIM Standard Strat.
I'm planning to put an SSS pickguard with a reverse angled bridge pickup.
Does anyone know where I can get a full-sized aluminum shielding plate with this configuration and screw pattern?

Likely you'll have to fabricate your own. Find some .010" sheet aluminum and use your pickguard as a template to cut it out.

Greasy Groove will custom make pickguards. It will (of course) cost more than the standard, but you'll have a lot of options to choose from.
They already have a reverse angle bridge pup strat template, and I'm sure they can put shielding on one too.

Thank you, arth1.
I had not seen that company before.
It's bookmarked now, that's for sure.
I'm having a blast looking through some of the options.
I'm thinking of getting this one for my Partsocaster.
What do you guys think?
It's maggots.

Here is the Partsocaster.

Thanks; Retroverbial, paris, and arth1.

I was able to get http://www.callahamguitars.com to do it as a special part with a $15 upcharge.

I love Greasy Groove!

They made the neckplates etched with my band's logo for Fiesta Red (my Stratocaster) and Big Tex (my MIM Telecaster)...looks greasy...and groovy...it's a Greasy Groove!
