Re: blue pickguard for black strat?
try Eden Mart
straight out of Hong Kong
home of the $5 pickguard
may not fit
I like the brushed aluminum with the floyd cut
just to be honest
I have never bought anything from them
but I ran across them when looking for something once
an the prices are very reasonable
let us know if you have a quality experience

Man I would suggest trying something different like a red pickguard. People always have cream, white, black on black, etc... I think a black strat with a red pickguard and red pickups would look awesome.

I've used both of these sites to get custom pickguards . . . they both do awesome work and have a lot of selections. A little expensive, but you'll get exactly what you want . . .

Unless you're worried about the vintage/sentimental/trade value of the guitar, I wouldn't worry about the "fit". I've had three different pickguards and all of them had holes that didn't perfectly align with the previous one. You just fill the old holes and re-drill.
Personally, I like red pearloid or tortoise on black.

Or you could check out Greasy Groove of Canada. They make somewhere in the vicinity of just under one million different options for pickguards, pickup and switch surrounds and other related guitar trim. Gibson, Epiphone, Fender Strats, Telecasters, P-bass, J-bass.... many more as well.
That's where I got my bizarre turquoise trim kit for my Les Paul. This, by the way, included a custom-cut (just for MEEE) pickup surround that allows me to fit my single-coil Twang Banger straight into the Humbucker slot at the bridge.
I searched for quite a while. Greasy Groove is pretty much the only game in town. So many choices - it bites that it takes so long to switch out some of the pieces - else I'd likely have a multitude of trim laying about. Again - SO many choices - it was a ***** to choose just one. It's odd that no one else has done this before.... they could get away with charging a LOT more than they do.
It's worth a look. My LP is down in Calif w/ my brother right now (he's letting me borrow his authentic Brian May "Black Special"), but I'll bring it home when I'm there at the end of the week.... I'll post a photo or six when I get home.
