pickguard ?

[j2379]

just assembled a mutt, jackson neck on a fender strat body, the gap between the body and the fretboard over hang isnt tall enough for a standard 3ply pickguard. are the single ply ones thinner or just doesnt have the cool BWB/WBW look on the bevel. does anyone know where i can get a thin mirror or even chromed metal pickguard made.

Whoa whoa whoa! Pics? Does it intonate? How is the neck pocket fit? More details please!

Single ply pickguards can be .060 to .090 (the SoCal guards are.090). IIRC, the 3 ply guards are around .090 - .125l. WD has mirror stock, but it's even thicker, at .125.

Levantin, i will post pics later. it intonates fine, the neck pocket has the smallest gap, its an old woodburn strathead neck that the heal is a hair over 2 1/8" early charvel strat head size. the neck feels great but it needs some adjusting as it hasnt been on a body in years.

Sully the guard i have it .090 and way to thick. I may need to try & find a real metal one. the brass one on my 80's schecter is thin enough, i think its about 1/8".

You could trim the pick guard a little deeper so it wouldnt have to go under the fretboard over hang. If its that thick, you probably wouldnt even have a gap if you trim carefully.
