Where can I get a (pearloid) hss scratchplate that fits a Fender American Standard Strat from '91?

I'm not willing to redrill the body if the screw holes are off so I need it to line up correctly. I've no problem with drilling the screw holes in the pickguard if it fits correctly otherwise and comes with none pre-drilled - although I suspect that's unlikely.

Does anyone know for sure? If I can't be sure, I would rather just get some pickguard material and route it out myself.
 
WD Music will make pickguards from a tracing, though they might actually have your model already.

They did my SG guard.

Care to explain how you managed to mount the pickups without mounting the pickup rings?
 
Hey - so the Warmoth ones definitely fit, I actually have a 91' Strat myself and I had a Warmoth HH pickguard on there for a while, perfect fit and you can customize them however you want.

I can also tell you that if you want a cheaper option, the Musiclily pickguards on Amazon are also a perfect fit and they look pretty good ;) I have a ton of them, and they all fit no problems, original holes line up and everything. Their mint green is pretty nice looking and I have a black pearloid one that looks great. They fit both my 06' and 91' Strats perfectly.

All pictured here are Musiclily pickguards, even the P-bass ones. personally I would go with the musiclily. They have HSS/pearloid options and should be a perfect fit, I've had great success with all the ones I have bought.

I had Warmoth make a HSS pickguard for my Strat and it fit as expected. They even had an option to have it cut out for a trembucker. Their price was lower than WD. Check them out.

I have a few of the Musiclily pickguards, and they all seem pretty decent quality.
