I have a Fender MIJ '82 JV (Jap Vintage strat). Not so long ago (from Lews guitars) I purchased a (white pearloid) 8 hole p/guard fully loaded with Fralin's, switches/controls etc. My intention is to put this straight into the JV strat - to see what the Fralins are like as I may be ordering a custom built strat at some point in the future (with them). I thought this was the easiest way for me to do this, given my limited skills, and I also did not want to de-value the guitar either. Recently I bought one of the US Highway strat guitars and as some of you know this has the 11 hole pick guard. I might add that I do not have the pick guard or the guitar in my possession as they are being sent to me from the US and this may take a few more days to arrive in England.
So my question is:
1. Would my new 8 hole pick guard (fully loaded) fit the 11 hole body strat on the highway or any other US strat?
2. Would there be any alterations that I would have to make to the body or pick guard?
3. Should I just fit the new pickguard to my '82 JV strat.
4. Return the new pickguard to Lew and tell him its a load of rubbish!!
5. Anything further that you guys may want to add?
Thanks
