Im want to change the pickguard on my mex standard stratocaster, its an hss but the problem is that the humbucker has three screws and i dont seem to find pickguards with the tree holes

where can i get one ? what can i do?
 
Humbuckers with three levelling screws are pretty unusual, so as I'm sure you've found for yourself, pickguards to accommodate them are thin on the ground. But, there are places where you can get things custom made. Terrapin is one example, although I recently ordered a truss rod cover that I was less than thrilled with so I'd be apprehensive about ordering anything from them again. Still, a little willingness goes a long way. Your mileage may vary.

Just enter "custom pickguards" in Google, and see what comes up. Or, call Warmoth and ask if you can get a 'guard with no adjuster screw holes. Then, use your existing 'guard as a template to drill your own holes. It's just plastic. Easy to play with.
 
If ya can't find what your looking for.

You could just buy the pickguard you like, then drill the two extra Hum mount holes yourself.  :icon_thumright:
Easy enough to cover up the existing hole with a similar small screw.

You already have a pickguard to use as a template for the holes.
 
Don't Fender humbuckers have regular mounting holes? There should be six holes on the mounting tabs.
