Odd Jazz pickguard (scratchplate)

[eubassix]

Just been handed this BLACK F' p/guard but no idea what it's off / from / for? ... any ideas / suggestions. It's patently wrong for any std. MIA, MiM, MIJ jazz, but wondered if it might have been created for a specific (modern / MIC / 24F? ) J-type instument. ?? It's also incorrectly routed/cut for the neck pickup (sligtly too 'tight' at the edges) but that's easily remedied :-

Old American Deluxe is my guess

This?

Thanks Andy - could be, although shape looks slightly different (notably the long, thin section by the final-frets/E-side (?). There's no 'U' truss-rod cut also.

Is the bass in the photo yours? if. so, the distance between the top edge of the neck-pickup-cut & neck-cut would be useful.  The one I have is c. 66mm; whereas the std. p/guard (t/shell ) is c. 94mm.

OK/thanks. I'll check those myself (excellent idea) and see if anything matches. Might also be worth checking current model range offered.............

No truss rod notch either...hmm

richmond short scale jazz or Sadowsky 24 fret or will Lee?

Just a thought is it not from the tanglewood overwater bass I sold you a while ago. As it had two plates one black and one pearl.
