Here we have an original pickguard off of a 1969 Stratocaster. As you can see, the bass side horn is broken off, but can be glued back on and remain fully functional. It appears that someone notched a place out to access the truss rod more easily and in the process broke the piece off. Other than the obvious, it is a nice guard with the "pearloid" back. It will still work just fine and restore your '69 Strat if you need an original guard.
