I recently decided to replace my pick-guard on my MIM Arctic White Stratocaster with a White Pearl pick guard to match my granddaughters (christmas present) Squier. I did this to make her happy that she has one just like Lolo (filipino for grandfather). The guard I ordered was Fender part number 099-2140-000. I was hoping that maybe someone else replaced their pick guard with this one and that they could post a picture while I wait for the replacement to ship. This is a WEIRD request I know, but I am getting nervous that maybe I ordered the wrong one. NOTE that the picture below is what I am hoping for....

Thank you to anyone who can assist me in this!

Here you go......

Thanks, Anthony -- it was my first "home-built" effort, four years ago.

Rawk on!

I don't like those flat white guards that come stock on strats. The mint/parchment look good though. I like tortoise, or the one you are getting. Dig this one on my cali series strat:

Looking good! I am looking forward to changing mine. I also saw the other day where some guy on eBay makes volume and tone knobs with a white pearl top. I might check those out. I think he was charging $10 each.

Here's another example of the white tortoise shell (FSR Koa Strat).

VERY nice! I am starting to wish the UPS man had wings!

Another nice one! Thanks for posting the picture.

You're welcome.

Well, the pick guard came in the mail and to tell the truth, I am greatly disappointed. I was expecting bright white and it is WAY too dark. I guess that I was expecting too much, but for me, it is a complete waste of $49. I doubt if I can return it since I removed the protective film....

Maybe it will grow on you? Ordering pickguards is always a crap-shoot. They never look the same in the pics as they do in real life. For what it's worth, I think it will look just fine installed but that's just my 2 cents... GFS has some nice pickguards for cheap and they have always been great in my experience, the holes line up and the fit and finish is great... from the picture, i can't tell if it's single ply or W/B/Pearl... you could always shoot them an e-mail and ask. They have always returned my messages when i've had a question.

That does appear a skosh darker than the one installed on the guitar that you posted the pic of.

Have you actually installed it on your Strat yet for a visual assessment?

Arjay:

Not yet! I did a quick dry fit just to see what it looked like. Not what I was expecting...How do you think it looks?
