Hi Guys.
Recently got my hands on a beautiful 1978, all original and 99% immaculate (cigarette burn on headstock) Fender Precision.
It is gorgeous. Sort of cherry/sunburst finish. It came with both pup covers and thumbrest and orig strap.
I am in love all over again and all it cost me was my modded Mike Dirnt Sig P Bass and a White Epiphone T-Bird! Now I face an even tougher time when deciding what to bring on the road with me ( Gibson TBird, Fender Am Dlx P Bass,78 P Bass, 70´s RI Pbass, Pink Hoppus sig, SUB, Mustang... list goes on and on!)
Anyway, my only concern is the pickgaurd-white looks awful against this colour, and as I intend to gig this a bit, I wanna swap it out for a black one.
Now, I know this is 13 Hole American already, but will a modern Fender American Standard one fit this? Also, do they come drilled for pup covers and thumbrest?
Anyone got any info at all?
Many thanks,
