This pick guard has a filled in hole in there between the Vol & Tone Knob,( had a mini switch in there at 1 time) and a glued/epoxy repair on tip on the high E 1st string lower horn side.. All n All this guard and shield on the Strat, all strung up you don't really notice the small repair and a 1965 Strat are upwards of 25k.. Invest while you can find one 4 sale, as Vintage is all but dried up for sale. Every Guitar or related part that leaves the USA NONE Com back into the States.. Ok.. maybe 1/100,000 Percent mite come back in and after most have to pay 30% or more in duty tax in getting their item.. These items increased in price before they buyer ever lays lands on their purchase..
