I'm looking for a black, 3-ply, 11 hole pickguard for my 60's reverse headstock strat. The problem is, the bridge pickup is slanted in the opposite direction than it usually is. Any ideas?

They have a reverse angle option. Cheers.

Also keep an eye out on ebay. I'm always searching for Voodoo strats on ebay and related searches always pick up pickguards with reverse angled bridge pickup openings.

No problem. I tried to build my own reverse strat back before they were making these mexi reverses and after they already discontinued the MIA Voodoo strats. Went through a lot trying to find such a pickguard.

I had WD Music make me a special one to fit a Kramer Tele. Highly recommended if you ask me.

Exactly. I have used this service from WD too, and it works great. Contact them; they will explain how to make a very accurate outline tracing of your pickguard with pencil onto paper, including all screwholes and switch slots. If you want a different shaped/angled pickup hole, just trace that on exactly as you want it.

Then you send that drawing to WD, they scan it into their CNC router and get the computer to cut it out. They have a vast range of pickguard colours and plies to choose from.

I got a very nice, clean result on a 'guard with non-standard screw layout. Of course, it will cost more than an off-the-peg pickguard, but it won't break the bank.

Cheers!
