Good sources for JM pickguards (UK/Europe)?
Posted: Wed May 29, 2019 11:55 am
I'm looking for pickguard recommendations for my Jazzmaster parts build, preferably easily obtainable in the UK.
I'm 90% sure the guitar will be Lake Placid Blue, but it will definitely be amungst the blues / greens, so I'm really looking for mint green, or possibly gold aluminium if it were on the pale side like the one below, rather than the orangey one on my old JMJM. I'm not going to even utter the 't' word
I'm happy with the colour / quality of the mint guard on my AVRI, but these seem to be pretty pricey as a replacement part, and I'd happily spend less for the same quality if that's possible. I'll be drilling the screw holes onto a new body, so the other key consideration is that it follows the standard USA pattern (I don't want to be having to drill new holes if I choose to swap the guard out in future).
There are obviously loads available on eBay, Amazon and online parts suppliers, and the prices range from about £8 to over £100, so it would be great to get some specific recommendations.
