{"product_id":"fender-strat-hss-pickguard-open-hb-black-pearl-shell","title":"Fender Stratocaster HSS Pickguard (Open Humbucker) - 4-Ply Black \u0026 White Shell","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeep black pearl shell with a dark iridescence that flickers between charcoal, gunmetal, and deep navy as the light shifts. The natural shell grain adds organic complexity to the dark surface, giving it more life than a flat black guard could. A dramatic, moody choice for players building something with presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease check the dimensions in the photos before purchasing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for the Fender Stratocaster in HSS configuration with an open (uncovered) humbucker at the bridge — the humbucker cutout has rounded corners to clear an exposed-bobbin pickup, not a covered humbucker. If your bridge humbucker has a full metal cover, see our covered-humbucker HSS listing instead. Standard 11-hole Stratocaster mounting pattern with cutouts for 1 volume knob, 2 tone knobs, and a 5-way switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pearl shell laminate — iridescent, with color shift depending on angle and light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Routing:\u003c\/strong\u003e HSS layout — bridge humbucker with rounded-corner cutout (open\/uncovered humbucker), middle and neck single-coil slots. 1 volume, 2 tone knob cutouts, 5-way switch slot.
