70s pickguard replacement?

Post by Malfunct8 »

Hi guys, tonight while recording I managed to rip the output jack out of my Pbass.... :o So the question is where can I get a replacement pickguard that will fit with little hassle? I had a similar problem about 10 years ago with a jazz bass and the pickguard I got wasn't even close, nothing lined up. Thanks

I've had luck with WD. had one on my '78 precision. Worked like a charm. Warmoth should fit too.

if you want an exact match - holes included - the only sure way is to have one replicated from your current pickguard. should you go this route, you'll find that Pickguardian and Jeannie Pickguards are both excellent companies to work with.

Warmoth guards fit W bass bodies, and I'm not sure if they guarantee that the mounting holes will match specific years of Fender production

all the best,
