Best place to order Pickguard?

I want to order an H/S/H 11 hole Strat style pickguard.
I'd like it pre-wired, but not pre-loaded with pick-ups.

Does anybody know where I could buy this?

I went on a lot of sites and none seem to offer that exact combo of things I want.

I tried Allparts, Guitarfetish, Fender, Warmouth...

they all seem to offer some variations, but not the exact one I want

I know I might have to pay a little extra for the weird customized option I want- that's okay with me

Yep....I've always had great results with Warmoth. I've used a few GFS, but got em cheap second hand.
 
Re: Best place to order Pickguard?

Thanks- everyone.

I emailed Warmoth and asked them if they will pre-wire the pickguard (but with-out pickups)- that's really my main question.I'm waiting for their reply.


I've wired (and re-wired, and re-wired...) my guitars for a long time.

I'm just hankering for a clean professional version of what I do.

I'm also going to try to go the route of having only one guitar (as crazy as that might seem to lots of guitar players)- so I'm going going to have that one guitar be as clean and customized as I want.

Warmoth won't pre-wire pickguards (some licensing thing with Fender)

I'll try WD and Chandler- thanks

Just take the guard to a local repair guy and have him wire it. You'll probably pay less to get better quality work, plus you'll be giving your neighbor some dough.

KRKBAB - I'd do it for you but sadly I'm in the UK and I suspect the fact that I have to ship it to the US might make it too expensive for you. If you're interested though, let me know - I can do it to spec and my wiring is tidy.

My only custom made pickguard was from pickguards.us (which might be chandler). Very good.

I'd find a local guy who would do it. Order it from Warmoth and have the guy do the wiring. It'll be cheaper, and probably quicker.

If you need just the standard fare pickguard for Strat or Tele, Guitarfestish. They even have HSS and Hxx. But like I said, standard fare - black, white, pearloid, celluloid, mint.

For fully custom cut and more material/color options, Warmoth.

WD even has a nice selection.
