Great for a facelift
I bought this to do a face lift on my squire strat. Some of you may find that it fits straight on but I had to do some minor filing to get it to fit. My advice is to take your old face plate and put it below the new plate and use it as a template to mark any material you need to remove. The plastic is easy to work with so a half round file could be all you will need. There is some foil shielding on the back of the plate near the holes for the 3 pots and the selector switch but you may want to add a bit more to try and cut down on unwanted noise.
The pearl pattern is very pretty and well worth the money.

I used this pickguard as basis for a custom paint pickguard. It was installed on a custom made ST style guitar (not Harley Benton)
The product, in its original color looks very good, I did not have problems with the screw hole alignment.
On the down side, it feels that the center axis is shifted slightly to the left, so I ended up having to make small adjustments to the bridge and neck cuts (mounted on a non-Harley Benton guitar).

Pearl pickguard for Strat
Purchased to fit a Squire Bullet. The pearl finish is fun and dramatically upgrades the look of the Bullet. The pickguard is nicely made and far superior to the cheap piece of plastic that came off. Fit was pretty good, three mounting holes around the neck were slightly out and needed plugging and re-drilling, but I suuspect this was more to do with the build quality of the Squire and not a fault of the Harley Benton part.
What was a nuisance, the mounting holes for the pickups and selector switch had not been counter-sunk - unlike the others. I don't know if real Fenders have surface sitting screws. Either way, to make it all sit right a counter-sink bit was needed.
But a mod. well worth it.

Nice pearl finish
Bought these for my red strat, and it looks really cool on the red.
The finish and quality of the pickguard is really good but the holes were not exactly in the right place, so, I had to do some filing and drilling (as that's a minus!).
Besides the holes, it fitted perfectly with the neck, bridge and pickups, so this is a good one, that I recommend IF you don't have a problem with possible problems with holes.
