ok- i bought a brand new mim hss strat in lake placid blue with maple neck. i'm lovin it!

i do desire to make some small changes. the first i am looking to do is replacing the pickguard. the white pearloid looks cool. i do have some questions though:

is this fairly easy? i'm pretty handy

where is the best place to buy?

are there any installation tips i should be aware of, or any special tools?

lastly- when you look at my pickguard, the humbucker has 2 mounting holes at the top, and one at the bottom. most of the pickguards i see have single holes at each end. is there a special pickguard for these?

thanks for your help.

I would ask Warmoth. I bet that can at least leave the holes out and let you drill them.
