Hi!
There are 2 types of 11 hole pickguards. Is it possible to find 1962 strats with both types of pickguard?

Highly unlikely.
The screw hole configuration went through several changes in '59, but by the end 0f '59 right through to the end of '62 the screw holes were the same.

The laminated fingerboards came in late '62, and in '63 the screw between the neck and middle pickups was moved much closer to the middle pickup.

Thank you very much!
I was after a clear decision whether it was possible or completely impossible, that a May 1962 strat could have a nitrate pickguard with the screwhole close to the mid pickup.
I guess you have given me the decision! :-)

The changeover actually occurred with the start of the 1964 model year.
