USA MM S.U.B. 5 pick guard question.

[leschirons]

If I wanted to change the pick-guard on a USA SUB 5 string to get rid of the office fire-escape look, is there a dedicated pick guard for it or would one for a Stingray 4 or classic 5 fit?

Any info appreciated.

Thanks

If you wanted one made for a reasonable price, you could ask this guy:

He did some repair work on my Stingray a while ago and I asked him at the time if he would do me a SUB 5 pickguard, and he agreed (though I never got round to actually getting one as I decided to sell the SUB soon after)

Thanks for that, I'll check it out.

The Classic 5 looks like a possible fit, the sr4 wont as the neck pocket is narrower and the pickup wont fit in the hole. The SUB 5 predates the Classic5 as the only 5 with the oval plate so its a bit of an unknown quantity.

You can buy plain black ones from Ernie ball uk (in the musicman spares bit ) , which is what I did a year or so ago

I can't work out how to link to the images I have uploaded to the site, but I have done so if you can find them.
