The pickguard is great. The material is thick and not cheap, flimsy plastic. A lot of people don't like pearloid but it really does hide dust and scratches from your pick when you're playing. Plus the guitar was already an ostentatious color, so why not push it a little further over the top?This was a perfect fit. All the holes lined up and there was no filing, twisting, or drilling new holes required. I'm very happy with this and the price is VERY reasonable. The pickguard came with screws (I just used the ones that came with the stock pickguard) and a bonus pick. I've purchased other Musiclily items before and I've been happy with them.
