I bought my black/white/maple American Standard Strat because it was such a great deal, I couldn't pass it up. I am not a huge fan of the tuxedo look...so I have been thinking about it. For a fleeting moment, I thought about relic'ing it, but realize that is probably not smart for me to do.
I think today I realized what I need to do. I want to switch the white 3-ply pick guard for a single ply black acrylic one. I think the all black with just the white pups and knobs combined with the maple neck looks really sweet.
You Gilmour fans will immediately recognize the look I am talking about. Here is a pic of a guitar that embodies what I would like to do:

I have just started my search for a 1-ply 11-hole black acrylic pick guard, but thought I would check here figuring you all know where the goods are found!
Keep in mind, I am not trying to build a replica Gilmour black strat, so I am just looking for the black 1-ply pickguard. That's actually the challenge. I am not looking to change electronics or add switches or anything like that, and I am starting to find lots of kits. I just need the pickguard.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and any assistance.
