deaky Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi all Just looking for a quick bit of advice. Iam gonna change the pickguard on my Geddy Lee Jazz and just wondered if its just a simple case of taking the screws out and screwing the new one or is it not that easy? I have never done this before and thought better be safe than sorry. Especially cause I love my GL Thnaks to all Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screw holes might not line up so you may have to drill some new ones in the body (the old ones will be hidden under the scratchplate so not a big deal). You might have to do a little scratchplate sandpapering in the cutout for the neck - they're sometimes a bit too snug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaky Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Well I ordered a Geddy Lee pickguard specifically whiich I had to wait about 4 weeks on so I am hoping not to drill holes in anything. I wouldnt be keen at all doing that. Thanks for your reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to note though, when you're screwing the new pickguard on, don't tighten the screws fully until you've got the last one in - you might be thankful of a little bit of 'slack' to allow for any tiny inaccuracies in the manufacturing process.
