Interesting. Can't say I've noticed any significant change on mine, but it lives in the case most of the time.

I suppose it's a standard Fender pickguard so it shouldn't be difficult to replace if it went discoloured?

@Knopflerfan : Sure! Sorry for the delay I spent more time on the Strat than on the screen  ;D

She's gorgeous and sounds great. She is in good condition for a guitar that is now 20 years old.

Have you guys checked the neck angles of your sig Strats? Mine seems to be a bit too low and might need a shim. This is visible by measurements, but also by simply checking how far the screws of the trem saddles stick out.

Mine has played beautifully for 20 years so I’m not going to fuck about with it.

I slightly adjusted the action on mine when I got it to my particular taste, and I check the intonation when I change strings, but apart from that I haven't had to adjust anything. Changes in the action can be due to so many different factors, including the weather.  You don't say if your neck needs bringing forward or tilting back (or just evenly too low). Fender necks are designed to be "flat" to the body except for the relief, it wouldn't take much of a shim to tilt the neck back to the point where major adjustment was needed to the trem and saddles. I'd be seeking a professional opinion from a luthier before doing anything. 

   
When you point your finger 'cause your plan fell through you've got 3 more fingers pointing back at you.
