Hi - new to the forum - proud owner of a 78 Mustang and just bought a 99 strat. Want to buy a pickguard from the fender store and am confused- what is the difference between the 44 dollar parchment pickguard and the 24 dollar white one? Can't just be the color, right?

depends....if the white is single ply and the parchment is triple, thats why. But generally it's also because they simply charge more for in demand colors that aren't the standard black or white, i suppose because they know they can get it. Plus the standard colors on most fenders is black and white so they always have a ton of those in stock. But the biggest single legit reason is single ply vs multi.

That's where I ordered the pickguard for my P-bass rebuild (prolly a month or so away.)
