Squier VM Precision Pickguard Replacement

[sarakisof]

Hello everyone, had found locally a lovely Squier VM Precision 2012 Olympic White for 150€ in pretty decent condition. 😁 

As seller was far away from my place, i had a friend picked it up for me and keeps it in his home till he visits me in a few weeks. I think a vintage or red tort pickguard would be perfect on its wonderful olympic white.

So i want to order via china ebay a tort replacement till my friend comes, but read that VM could be pain in the donkey year / models accordingly finding an exact dimensions pickguard replacement.

 

I was wondering if there is anyone here owning a SQ 2010-2012 VM P and have ordered from ebay any pickguard that fits perfectly his body without any drilling.

Any specific chinese sellers recommendations would be greatly appreciated guys.

 

For example, i was looking to those:

The cheap pickguards from China have small pickup holes, they will not fit standard fender size pickups, you will need to make the holes bigger with a file.

I see. Contacted Squier asking dimensions or template so to know exactly what i am looking for. Found many e sellers with different pickguard dinensions 3-4 ply etc.

Cheers
