MKS models that require a pickguard are 25.5 inch body models TLP, TEL, TLX, and STR. TLP and STR use the same pickguard, 2 models and several color options available.

ST and TL bodies do not need a pickguard but there are some available also if you prefer one..

Optional T-type pickguard and control plate:

MKS TL pickguards can be used for 25.5 inch TL and ST models where bridge and pickup configurations are met. Note that if you install a T-type control plate it is slightly further away (due to a control cavity at backside of the body) compared to TEL model which has control cavity in the front as in T-type guitars normally have.

TL/ST pickguards you can find here

MKS TL and ST guitar bodies do not need a pickguard, but you can choose pickguards for TL and ST bodies from several options in case you prefer one, note also that the back cavity is big enough to have a T-type control plate with switch and potentiometers inside the cavity. 

NOTE! In some selected TL and ST models you can choose an option for T-type vol, tone and 3-way switch routing with or without control plate  from product page options.

In the picture below you can see how the backside cavity can accommodate the control plate on MKS TL guitar body. For a perfect fit you need a TL/ST pickguard or no pickguard at all. TEL pickguard looks similar but it is only for TEL body.
