There is no mystery here on what it is. See my previous post. This is a full sized pickguard shield like Fender used in the early 60's and is recreated for the '62 Reissue.

This is a mystery for sure :shock:


Unless we're approaching this from the wrong direction. Maybe its a pickguard to protect the other pickguard from playing scratches. Like you said, "you can't be too careful".


Good call Martian, you may be on to something here.

Where is the 'slaps forehead' emoticon?
There is no mystery.

An original 1956 Stratocaster wiring harness and pickguard.
Notice the small metal shielding plate around the pots,
and the white single layer pickguard. At the top edge is a
early 1960's three-layer celluliod "mint green" pickguard
with it's full-size aluminum shielding plate. Look familiar???

I do believe you haven't realized that we are joking and know full well about the aluminum shield. Where is the 'slaps forehead' emoticon?
