This will fit the fender american ultra and special editions lines
Fits perfectly. Looks good. Great to have an extra on hand for in case of an emergency. This is the 11 hole version and fits american fender special edition and ultra models. I do not know if it fits professional or prof II. Has peel off plastic that you can leave on to prolong the time to scratching it up as well.

Fits like a glove
The high-quality fabrication of this pick guard is truly impressive. It's clear that whoever makes this item pays meticulous attention to detail, as the precision fit on my guitar was flawless. Not only does it look sleek and stylish in black, but I play just a little meaner with this menacing addition to my “off the shelf” strat.

Fit my 2018 MX Strat and is good quality
It's always a chance with pickguards as even Fenders manufactured at different times and places can have variations in the hole placement. This pickguard didn't say 'Fender' anywhere on it or the packaging but it was good quality and fit my MIM 2018 Player Strat perfectly.

Don’t waste your money.
This was branded as a genuine Fender item. Arrived in zero Fender marked packaging. Looked like a knock off. My humbucker a Seymour Duncan 59N didn’t Line up with screw hole on one side. Fitment was shoddy and I had to trim the neck pocket of the guard to make it work on my strat. Paid big money hoping to avoid fitment issues and sure enough should’ve just bought a cheapo one.

Nice quality pickguard, looks very sharp - used to upgrade Indio HSS Strat
I bought this pickguard for a HSS Indio classic off-brand Strat for a couple of reasons. I upgraded to an Obsidian solderless wiring kit, and the knobs did not fit the stock Indio pickguard. Secondly, the Fender pickguard is well-made - it's 3-ply and has shielding installed across the entire inner portion of the pickguard, unlike the Squier/Indio pickguards that have very little shielding tape on them.For those who might purchase one of these to upgrade their HSS Indio guitars (especially if you decide to buy an Obsidian for it), a couple of notes. The rear of the pickguard that fits underneath the neck will need to be dremel'ed in order to fit properly, otherwise it'll overlap the trem and not sit flush on the guitar body. Shave about 1/8" off material off the neck edge of the pickguard, or use a trial & error method to get it to fit. Once it clears the tremolo, most of the pickguard screw holes will not line up (some will though). Simply screw down the holes that line up and use a small drill bit to take care of the rest. The Obsidian solderless wiring kit will NOT line up with the tone/volume knob holes in the Indio stock pickguard, but it lines up perfectly with this Fender pickguard. Overall an easy install and looks sharp on my cheap-o Indio HSS Strat.

No Fender branding on product or packaging.
I bought this because the description said it is Fender. The plastic bag the pickguard arrived in, appeared unopened, But there is no Fender tag on the package like I’ve seen from other pickguards. The pickguard itself does not have Fender branding on it however that is not unusual. It fits as it should. However, I paid a premium price for this compared to generic guards and expected a Fender product. Perhaps it is? The world may never know…

Love it.
Bought this so I could add a humbucker (DiMarzio X2N) to my Strat.Con: Make the screws line up.Pros: Great pick guard. Far exceeds any cons.
