LloydyG10 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hey gang, I looking to get a pickguard for my Lakland 55-01. Apart from Jeannie's pickguards it seems impossible to find one. Anybody on here have a pickguard for their 55-01?? If so could you send me an outline tracing so I can send it to the Bass Doc? got Howard standing by to make one for me, he just needs a template. My 55-01 is an Indonesian built ones. another thing, is Jeannie's pickguards still in operation?? if so are they good to deal with?? heard lots of conflicting opinions on the company. Cheers guys LloydyG10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LloydyG10 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 So nobody has any advice/thoughts on this then?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I owned a 55-01 and I bought a pickguard from Jeannies. It was of a high quality and they were extremely easy to deal with. Apologies, but I sold that particular bass a couple of years ago...otherwise I would have happily sent you a template for it. Come on folks...there must be someone else out there who could assist the OP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 You aren't getting many replies as other than Jeannies, you'd have to get one custom made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LloydyG10 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Trying to do that machines, asked the bass doc if he could make one but he needs a template. If anyone out there has a 55-01 with a pickguard, all I need is an outline template and bada boom done!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Personally of I were you I would bite the bullet and place the order with Jeannies...it will be a perfect fit. I was impressed with mine.

LloydyG10 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Yeah I am thinking of going down the jeannies route, but I'm not sure there still operating. I heard that the main guy who makes the pickguards had died. I've had a go at creating my own template, found it difficult to get the spacing between the pickup routing and neck pocket accurate.

mnmr Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 hi LloydyG10, just wanted to ask if you made any progress? Looking for a pickguard myself (meanwhile desperately). so if you could find any outlines it would be awesom if you let me know! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LloydyG10 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 gonna give this topic a second go, had no real luck the first time. So if anybody out there in Bass Chat land has any advice, please get in touch Cheers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Bassdoc on here can make custom plates but not sure if he'd need a template to start from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xroads Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I read somewhere that the (Skyline) Laklands of different vintage have slightly different pickguard shapes. That's probably why there is not standard template out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
