Precision Bass - Aftermarket Pickguard - Truss Access?

[spongebob]

Had an aftermarket pickguard fitted to a US Pro Precison.

 

Looks great, but just noticed I can’t access the truss rod!

 

Don’t want to remove the neck all the time - has anyone got any fixes for this, or tips to gain easy access? 🤞

 

Bass is black, black PG. Thoughts? 👍

I guess you meant "can't access"...

Thanks! Damn auto correction….🫣

Sell your aftermarket pickguard and buy the one I’m selling on here which has the truss-rod cutout?

Dremel it.

Both options above are good advices.

My luthier had a very successful go today, blade, file, and other tools…..he’s managed to carve a matching hole to the genuine one! 👍
