yo I bought a stiletto about a year ago and I'm tired of the all black finish so im looking to swap out the pickgaurd and the hardware. Where would I even begin with doing this?

Changing the pickgaurd and hardware on a Stiletto Stealth 5 Lefty

Well, hardware (bridge and tuners, and knobs, I assume) isn't all that hard to come by; just depends what you like, and how much you want to spend. Allparts.com might be a good place to start for that. The pick guard? I'd try Pickguardian for a start.. Or, there are people who make them - whose names escape me at the moment. A search around here for "custom pick guards" might get you something useful. Or, yeah; there's always Google...
Post a photo of the bass!
Which bridge does it have? Are they individual bridges for each string or one for all 5?
Tuners are the easy part. Most tuners (Gotoh, Hipshot, Shaller) should fit if the bushing size is right
However these are probably the closest

Pickguard will likely have to be custom, as they're not super common.
Pickguardian or WD music should be able to make a new one if you send them the original.
For the knobs look here

My favourites are the black aluminium knobs but if you want nickel/chrome they do that too!
