On a tight budget, stewmac's Golden Age Parsons Street are quite nice. All this talk has shamed me into going and finishing the wiring on one of my Les Paul's

The PAF and Super Distortion 'buckers I have are the original 2 wire models and not the newer 4 wire ones. I'm not a huge fan of splitting pickup coils. I did add a switch to flip the phase on one of the pickups in my LP so I can thin-out the sound if I want. What I'm looking for is a green pearloid pickguard for my Strat that has the Seymour Duncan 'buckers. It currently has a white pearloid one and a green pearloid I think would look great against the black body. Like to not go to a custom-made pickguard if I can help it. Anyone know a source fro what I'm looking for? It's a dual humbucker Strat .
I'd like to make a recommendation for anyone that plays guitar especially electrics - use strap locks. Had a strap come loose on one of the Strats and it fell knobs down and shattered the pickguard.
