wtf is up with allparts pickguards?

[Thoraby]

I just received a Allparts 11-hole Pickguard for my Fender strat and only 6 of the holes line up with the holes in the strat.

What fucking guitars are these pickguards meant for if not for FENDER FUCKING STRATS? MAybe I have a queer model. it's a 68' reissue.

but still man, wtf? This is so dissapointing. Now what do I do... *cries*

Those pickguards are made for current USA production model Strats. A reissue is made to different specs. For some stupid reason, Fender has moved those 11 holes a whole bunch over the years.

How many different spacings do they make a Floyd nut in? How many different spacing for the stud posts on a TOM bridge? The guitar world is filled with this kind of stupidity.

Much nicer looking with the black pickguard. I never did like the white pickguards.

Not going to comment on your photography skills, though. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
