I think it looks better if you don't see individual pick scraping lines. The area should just be lighter, me thinks. Here a link to a interesting online replica Strat site:

The Strat Shop - Vintage Guitar Replicas and Parts - Also Jimi Hendrix Monterey Pop Stratocaster Guitar, Stevie Ray Vaughan Guitars, Eric Clapton Guitars, John Mayer, Rory Gallagher, George Harrison Rocky, Telecaster, Kluson, Gotoh, Relic, Fender Gui

Note close up pics J Mayer & SRV reps.
