Best place to buy a Pickguard?


Recommended Posts

I've had so many problems trying to get a pickguard that fits my Jazz bass.

The main problems are:

1. It's too wide or narrow and doesn't line up with the control plate.

2. It's too thick and is a couple mm higher than the control plate.

3. It doesn't fit the neck or the pickup properly. 

Where can I buy a pickguard that actually fits?!

I have bought 2 recently from North west guitars, one black and the other tort. I have a Mex Players Jazz, they are of good quality and fit this model perfectly and cost me £15 posted first class.

But not all Jazzes are the same so check before removing the clear vinyl.

I've had a similar issue with my Squier VM Jazz. I bought a tort guard which has the right screw placement but isn't quite right around the control plate. 

I'm putting the original black one back on my Jazz this weekend and was going to what the tort guard, happy to send you some pictures to check the colour and shape of you fancy first refusal.

There's some good custom places out there but so expensive!

try www.gig.ink  ive had a couple made up by them and the price was great as was the service. I scanned my pickguard in and he sent me a pdf template to check it against the bass. both times it was the correct size. when they arrived the were good quality and just what i needed,.
