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.

Also works as a very effective 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 - Any genuine Fender USA & MiM Strats from 1986 to present. Any Strat which a current Fender Strat guard fits. Before '86 there may be deviation in some Fender screw hole placements.

Squier Strats etc: Will fit current Squiers. If older than '86 there maybe 1 or 2 screw holes a little off center. That's usually no problem, the screws supplied will easily find a hole.
