folks! which place has the best selection of strat pickguards?

 

[joshuak]

Guitar Connection. Tortise shell, original?(hopefully) More expensive.

Ranking Sports. Low priced look-alikes to the originals.

1987 Jap Strat loaded with YJM(Neck) Class of '55(Middle) HotRails (Tail)

 

[LEMONed_Z]

hmm. I was wondering why the MK sig strat is offered with rosewood fingerboard instead of maple. Like no sultan of swing mojo.

Hey bigrockshow, how does the hot rails sound in the strat? are the cleans decent or unpleasant?

 

[ItchyNuts]

Ahh.. love that YJM strat colour...
