Hi Guys!,
My problem is,...I want to add a genuine Fender Mint green pickguard that will fit a Mexican strat body with a stock Floyd Rose bridge. But all the ones I've seen are ones for strats with a standard bridge. Does anyone know if I can get one from Fender? I'm also looking for one cut for S/S/S,...I have seen Floyd pickguards but they all seem to be cut for H/S/S.
And yes!,..I did already buy a non Fender Mint green Pickguard for cheap money off Ebay and was just going to alternate it for the Floyd but when I received it, it turned out that the color of the pickgaurd was closer to a Glow-in-the-Dark green and looks horrible!! And! these guys on Ebay have a no return policy!, so I'm stuck with a stupid looking pickgaurd I can't use!! :evil:
So, can anyone help me find a genuine Fender mint green pickguard that will fit a MIM Floyd Rose Fender strat? Thanks for any help! :wink:

Take it to a woodworker or something. I was in woodshop and my teacher taught me a lot. I used my knowledge to shave the bridge pocket of the pickguard when my bridge got stuck under it (don't ask how...)

+1 They fit properly. You don't have to rework the screw holes or pickup cutouts and they have every option known to man available.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
