The only problem with that is, the Allparts tortoise-shell pickguard blanks are three-ply.

Real Fender tortoise-shell pickguards are four-ply, as are the matching trem covers.

does it have to be the same as a real fender? if that is the case then anything all parts would be out of the picture. that would then bring up a question of does fender sell sheets? I dont recall ever having seen any blank sheets from Fender for sale. If 3 or 4 ply is an issue for the OP there might very well be other makers that do indeed make 4 ply aftermarket sheets. Again assuming that having a new pickguard and back cover cut and that the fact that it would not be an actual fender item is not an issue.

I'm merely stating the facts.

If you have a problem with truth then that's your cross to bear.

You can put a Cort or a Turser pickguard on your Strat for all I care.

I ordered the fender back plate and its a match...go figure ...
I personalized it a bit more with a us string tree and fender inscribed gold neck plate
I had a local luthier ( Ian Weston ) clean up the frets and complete a great setup and the guitar is just awesome.
