World wide delivery with Tracking.

Shipped with dark stainless steel screws, to match the guard.

Dark Brushed Stainless Steel with a silver lining. It's a smart finish which naturally happens after all edges are rolled & polished, including the pickup slots. With matching dark polished screws to complete the hand finished details.

Tasty for that Strat needing a special dark guard. 100% stainless steel permanent electro bath color, no paint.

This hand brushed effect has a dark slate metallic gleam to the finish. Giving a little more natural and organic look to the medium brush texture. It has an unmistakable classy metal shimmer when compared side by side to the duller similar color of a dark anodized aluminium guard.

NOTE: There may be some slight wear & fine scratching patina to the surface after an extended time of use, or with aggressive playing styles.
