Some of those pick guards look cool. I've always been fond of the plain white pick guard I have on my strat at the moment.

It would definitely be different and eye catching to see those on a strat :D
I have ... stuff...

I can be honest, I was extremely tempted by that Union Jack pickguard. Always been an Oasis fan.

I don't have a strat to put one of these onto but...

If anybody has a USA fender strat body in AK that is made from one piece good timber and is routed for a FR and HSS setup, I'd be interested buying it sometime.

That shedding your gats thread has got me needing another guitar.

There is a cheapo starcaster body on tm for 50bucks atm, but I'd like to slowly put togeter a HSS whammycaster made from USA parts.
