Haha if worse comes to worse, you could always tape some card-board to it

But there should be some site out there that could offer you one

Weird, I've always known it as scratchplate. Could try searching for it under that name, might find some more stuff.

Ok...I changed a little bit, i'm planning to replace the pickups on my strat style guitar, i'm gonna replace the bridge and neck pickup with two humbuckers, can anyone find me a H/S/H style left handed pickguard? I've been searching for two days. not one,and i checked ALL of telecrater's sites, nothing...So if someone has one or knows were to find one,OR is nice enough to look for one for me, that would be nice

Have you tried googling it? Or ebay?

I'll take a look tomorrow for you, I've got to get going for the night since I have college again.

Later on

Warmoth has strat style pickguards. You can choose how you want them cut to fit the pickups, and they claim they have lefty versions available for most models.

couple of ideas that might help

1) open up your search a little for a L.H HH pickguard and just trim a centre slot for the middle P/up or

2)Look into the possibility of using a RH HSH or HH back to front.

I havn't removed a Strat pickguard myself so I have no idea what's underneath.

Good luck anyway!
