MusicMan SUB5 pickguard...

I'm going to be purchasing one of these beasts very soon, and I am not entirely convinced by that aluminium scratchplate... so I'm considering replacing it. But I can't find anywhere to buy one. Any ideas?

It's like the standard Stingray plate, but obviously routed for a 5-string pickup and a bit wider.

I think you would have to get one custom made from somewhere like sims. However, the new classic stingray 5 has an oval shape pickguard same as the SUB 5, as opposed to the standard SR5 pickguard, have an ask on the EBMM forum, as they may fit, same as the standard 'ray pickguard fits on a SUB 4, and if so, you may be able to order one from strings 'n' things (official UK EBMM dealer). You definitely can't order the pickguards for the SUB 5 (or you couldn't before the classic 'ray 5, if my assumption is correct).

You could just buy a standard one and then use the vile aluminium one as a template for the hole. I had to do this to replace the p/g on my Ray34 (different p/up shape). A craft knife, a large nail file, time and a bit of patience and you should have the perfect job.

that was my first port of call... but they are 4-string space ones. The 5-string ones are with the large scratchplate...

and in case somebody else finds this thread looking for a definitive answer... there is this place:

postage is about as much as the plate itself :) but should be good, and quite a wide range of options.
