Gold. you can get the anodized aluminum pickguard. If you really want some good info on gilmour strats... check out http://www.gilmourish.com

Set aside some time, a lot of goodies on this site.
here's an excerpt from the site
According to Guitarist journalist David Mead, who examined the guitar for an article in 1995, the ash body is indeed white although it might appear to be aged Olympic White, pale green or even blue-ish on some pictures. The guitar features an anodized gold 8 hole 1-ply pickguard, custom gold plated tremolo system and output jack and Kluson Deluxe tuners. The pickups appear to be original 1954 Fenders with a 3-way pickup switch (the 5-way switch didn’t surface until the mid 70’s).

The 5-way switch came into surface in the mid-to-late 70's.

To be more precise, it was introduced in 1977.

Hello isdi: you're in France - you can get Fender's own anodised gold pickguard here:

Cheaper imitations are also available.

Cheers - C

I actually had a '77 Strat that came with a 3 way switch.
