Has anyone had experience in changing out the pickguard on a MIJ Stratocaster? I was planning to order a different color but I am being told the replacement pick guards are hit or miss on the MIJ's.
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried Pickgaurd Planet?

The key to a perfect fit versus "hit or miss" is the screw hole positioning. They sell pickgaurds machined specifically for the MIJ Strat.

If your MIJ Strat is a re-issue of a vintage American instrument ('50s, '60s, or '70s), replacement parts made in the USA or Mexico *should* fit it without any problem. The issue becomes murky only when the Japanese guitar has no US or Mexican equivalent (such as the "Contemporary" and "HM" Strats).
