Pro Steel Pickguards

Black Satin HSS Strat Stainless Steel Guard

OUT OF STOCK - A larger choice of Dark Guards will return near end of April.

World wide delivery with Tracking.

Shipped with sets of both polished Black AND Chrome screws, for your choice to blend or contrast.

Black Satin 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 black polished screws to complete the hand finished details.

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

The satin effect has a brushed black metallic gleam to the finish, this mellows the black, more like a very dark charcoal color. Stainless Black Satin naturally has a classy shimmer when compared side by side to a similar color anodized aluminium guard, which looks dull in comparrison.

NOTE: There may be some wear & scratching to the black after extended use or aggressive playing.
