Decent Tortoise pickguard for lefty MIJ Jazzmaster...

Best place for a real celluloid, 4-layer tort guard for my recent MIJ lefty Jazzmaster? Why are WD pickguards over $100?

I spoke with Chandler Music aka PickguardPlanet.com. They do a tortoise that looks decent for around $75... I will send them my guard so they can make an exact tracing as they worry the MIJ models might not be the same as the ones they have from the late 80s early 90s...

Anybody have experience with them?

Should be fine, though I can't speak to how good/bad their tort looks. Sending your original guard is a good plan.

They were the OEM pickguard supplier to G&L for a number of years.
