Pickguard for Squier Jazz Bass?

Post by thecolorwaves » Thu Aug 17, 2017 10:34 am

Hi all, hoping someone can point me in the right direction with this: I have been trying to find a cheap and cheerful tort or black pickguard for the above guitar for some time now, with no luck. It's the one with the gold 50th anniversary sticker on the back of the headstock. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Check out the repro pickguards made by Chandler or any number of asian sources.
Many shops or stores will have pickguards left over from customer swaps or over stock and some places discount these items.
The hard part in getting a pickguard for a Jazz bass is matching the screw pattern. Your bass appears to have the vintage
Jazz bass PG screw pattern so reissue guards may fit or be close.

If you can, bring the bass or just the Pick guard with you to match up for a new one.

Good luck
