Members EricF Posted September 19, 2005 Members Posted September 19, 2005 Based on pictures, it looks like the Fender American series replacement pickguards match the hole pattern for a MIM Std J. Is this a drop-on fit, or does it require some new holes to be drilled?
Members SpaceGhost Posted September 19, 2005 Members Posted September 19, 2005 I'm pretty sure they are different. I bought a replacement from warmoth and the holes did not match. Since I've modded my bass to hell, I just made new holes which are going to kill resale value
Members Emprov Posted September 19, 2005 Members Posted September 19, 2005 There are a ton of different hole patterns so it's anyone's guess. I've replaced a few pickguards and have had to fill and drill on all of them. I think that the most holes that have ever lined up on a single pickguard is 3. Get yourself a few toothpicks, some wood puddy and you'll be gold.
Members EricF Posted September 19, 2005 Author Members Posted September 19, 2005 I pulled the trigger on a genunie Fender '62 tort pg and am just planning to drill some holes, if necessary. The tort should look great on my black J.
