Both are 8 screw single ply pickguards. the '57 is tight all the way around, never had a problem with it. The Clapton pulls away right above the neck pickup and under the tone controls.
It's something I'm not too pleased with also but i guess sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't. I've heard of others changing to a thicker pickguard for this reason

I know Warmoth makes them but I'm not too sure what the thickness is for fenders, but i assume they are (or at least they would tell you the difference)
