Humbuckers will raise up to 8mm (5/16") above guard top
Also works as a noise shield.
Your electronics will be more stable at higher volumes, and will not interfere with your original tone.
In fact, these guards work very well on the best guitars for recording.
FITS - HSH Pickguard fits most genuine Fender USA & MiM HSH Strats. Or any Standard Strat SSS when neck and bridge pickups are changed for Humbuckers to HSH.
Squier Strats etc. Will fit Squiers, with maybe 1 or 2 screw holes a little off centre. That's usually no problem, the screws supplied will easily find a hole.
