You will have the best luck if you don't try US sized Strat parts because Epiphones are asian built and use metric sized parts.

Here's the finished product. The loaded Guitar Fetish plate works like a charm, and it sounds so much better. Thank you again!

You should be able to find an asian Strat style that would work or  even a loaded pick guard on eBay..

Guitar Fetish has them loaded or unloaded..

With 3 single coil pickups and that headstock would most likely make it an an 86 or 87  S-300 ..

Nice, thank you. Would you happen to know if the S-300 SSS pickguards are still available?

It looks like it has the Jackson style headstock that was made in 86 and 87, which would match up with an S-200 that was also made in 86 and 87.  The S-200 came with 2 humbuckers so looks like it may have been modified to have a single pickup. If you were to remove the pickguard it will probably have more cut outs in the body for additional hardware.

Thank you. This one had the 3 single coils when purchased new (I was there when a friend bought it). The original pickguard and bridge pickup were damaged after something heavy fell on it a few months after purchase. I made the single humbucker pickguard to replace the original sometime after it was given to me.

Hello! I have the same question as the previous post.  Would anyone be able to tell me what model this is and what year it was made? Serial number is included.

Back story: This was given to me in 1989 with a broken faceplate and damaged pickups. The faceplace was black with 3 single coils. I couldn't afford to buy another so I made faceplate for a humbucker as that was all I had at the time. I'd like to revert it back to the 11 screw hole black plate with the 3 singles if they're still available. Thanks!
