Hello, purchased this 2009 American Deluxe ash body Strat off Ebay. It has a single ply pickguard and trem cover. owner said these were original to the guitar and just wanted to check with others who could confirm that they did use the single ply for this model. Also, is there any benefit in single ply over 3 ply or vise versa? Thanks.[img][IMG]http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb335/applecarpet/IMG_1511.jpg[/img]Image[/img]

All Am Dlx Strats in that butterscotch color came stock with black pickguard and trem cover. Black pickup covers also, yours are parchment....hmm. Here is an example I found by googling "American Deluxe Stratocaster ash blond": http://www.gguitars.com/fe6295593.html

Benefits over this particular 1-ply vs a 3 ply are none. They are the same thickness and basically the same. It's only a cosmetic difference.

However, the vintage style 1-ply like on the 50's reissues is not the same as what you have. The reissues use a much thinner 1-ply because that is what was used back in the 50's. Those thin 1-ply pickguards are prone to warping. Hence, why Leo switched to a 3-ply to prevent warping. You don't have to worry about that with your thick modern 1-ply.

Thanks, yes, the guy I bought it from changed out the black pickups with white ones, however, they are the correct SCN Noiseless pickups. I guess he though the white looked better, looks good I guess, thanks for the pickguard info.
