mint/parchment/white PG's

Post by Jazzprod » Mon Jun 25, 2007 2:10 am

Got a Parchment PG for JM from Jeannie's Pickguards today and wanted you guys to see the difference between them...  :)
The parcment one is made of the same material Fender uses (stated the guy on J.P.) for $trats and J-basses and so on...

Does anyone know why Fender does not make the parchment version for JM's and Jag's themselves??

The mint and white are aftermarket (allparts I think)

Parchment is a good mid-way point between mint green (which can be too greenish, especially the aftermarket sources) and shocking new white. Me like.  :D

Warmoth sells sheets of parchment pickguard stock for $23 (10" X 12") and $30 (10" X 16"). I was thinking of ordering a sheet or two and having them sent straight to dazbootman (eBay pickguard cutter). I wrote him and asked him about this and he's fine with people providing their own materials. I ended up dropping a project so I let it fall by the wayside but I might have him do a few more for me next month. His prices are great (cca $20 per guard with my own material) and his stuff is really top-notch. He knows his stuff, too - no confusion between MIA and MIJ stuff, for example.

Does anyone else sell sheets of parchment material?

Wow - the parchment fom Jeannie's looks pretty good.  I might have to snag one of those eventually.  I'm glad you posted that - otherwise I never would have known they had that with their website being as confusing as it is.

I love the colour! Looks great... On that shot, though, it seems like the routings for the roller pots and the circuit switch are larger/rounder than the other guards. How does it fit with the electronics? Have you tried it on yet?

No, I haven't. It's true though, the roller pot openings and the switch opening are quite roughly hand made, and not so precise... I think the roller pot holes are all-right, but my main worry is the opening for the switch. It's really a bit too large and not straight.... :(
I know more when I've mounted it.

I hope it fits ok!
