Mod_Machine Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Hi, Just putting the feelers out as contemplating a future project converting a Squire Bronco to mustang (well in style and part upgrades anyway!) Before I take my thoughts any further Ive done a bit of google work, but cant find anywhere that does the mustang Bass pickguards, let alone in various colours! Anyone know of anywhere? cheers karl Quote
icastle Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Not a huge choice of colours, but Allparts do them [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/allparts-guitar-amp-parts/pickguards-scratchplates/for-jaguar-mustang-jazzmaster/pickguard-for-mustang-2-p-3226.html"]here[/url]... Quote
Mod_Machine Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Hi, Cheers for the quick response but they are for the Fender Jaguar guitar with the 2 single coil pickups. Im really after a black-white-black 3 ply bass version. Anywhere else? Quote

They don't stock a Mustang scratchplate but they can make one from a template or the original and they don't charge extra for doing it! Quote
skankdelvar Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 The WD Music site in the USA has Mustang bass pickguards: [url="http://www.wdmusic.com/pickguard_mb_1500.html"]http://www.wdmusic.com/pickguard_mb_1500.html[/url] NB: they stock Squier, MIM and CIJ types. Maybe ask the guys in the UK office if they can source the appropriate choice and get it sent over. Or buy direct? Quote
Mod_Machine Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Cheers - just emailed WDmusic.co.uk to see what they say. If i hear nothing ill give them a call as the available black bronco donor isnt available for very long! Anyone know if the chrome plate where the jack socket and tone knobs go is a standard mustang guitar piece? Quote
lovetheblues Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 You probably checked already, but I'm sure I have seen these offered on E bay in different colors. Quote
