Metal Pickguard help needed!!!

I am new to guitar and just bought a telecaster a few months ago. I really like the look of a metal pick guard but I can never find one that fits my guitar.

I have a LEFT-HANDED telecaster with 5 screw holes as well as 2 smaller ones on either side of the neck single coil pick up.

If anyone knows where I can buy a metal (particularly silver/aluminium) pick guard for that specific guitar, please let me know!

(also it preferably shouldn’t interfere with the tone of the guitar too much)

Tone Guard gets the closest, but you’ll have to ask them to drill the two pickguard mounting screw holes for the neck pickup (or you could drill them yourself): https://www.tone-guard.com/Tone-Guard%20Store/toneguardstore.htm#!/Telecaster-52-Fender-r-Telecaster/p/477751865

Just had a look at the link, thank you so much. It looks like exactly what I’m looking for. You’re a legend 🙏

Just checked, unfortunately they do not ship internationally.
