~Maxx Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hi folks. I'm getting ready to order a new pickguard for an '89 Japanese Strat, and got the idea from several sites that the standard replacement guards may not fit properly on imports. I haven't been able to find any details, however, as to how I might figure out weather or not my particular model requires something out of the ordinary. Is it the positions of the screw holes? Mine's an 11-hole, and seems to match up with the standard. The only other thing I could think of is that it has something to do with the neck and/or bridge cutaways. Any wisdom on this would be much appreciated... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim37 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 i know the indonesia/chinese strats are diffent but can't help ya on a jap. one thing you do is see if you can get a cheap mim off ebay for a few dollars and see if it fits. or if you know some one with a strat see if they will let you compare.

~Maxx Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hmm... Thanks guys. Sounds like I just need to order the thing and see what happens. I'll make sure they have a return policy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
