sarakisof Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, had found locally a lovely Squier VM Precision 2012 Olympic White for 150€ in pretty decent condition. 😁 As seller was far away from my place, i had a friend picked it up for me and keeps it in his home till he visits me in a few weeks. I think a vintage or red tort pickguard would be perfect on its wonderful olympic white. So i want to order via china ebay a tort replacement till my friend comes, but read that VM could be pain in the donkey year / models accordingly finding an exact dimensions pickguard replacement. I was wondering if there is anyone here owning a SQ 2010-2012 VM P and have ordered from ebay any pickguard that fits perfectly his body without any drilling. Any specific chinese sellers recommendations would be greatly appreciated guys. For example, i was looking to those: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Red-Tortoise-Shell-Pickguard-3-Ply-Scratch-Plate-For-Bass-Guitar-Part-Or-similar/401934068495?ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F711-53200-19255-0%2F1%3Ftype%3D4%26campid%3D5336679160%26toolid%3D10001%26afsrc%3D1%26customid%3D3043X598154X1f125d313493cc7200c768b31f166b0e%26mpre%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FRed-Tortoise-Shell-Pickguard-3-Ply-Scratch-Plate-For-Bass-Guitar-Part-Or-similar%2F401934068495%3Fhash%3Ditem5d95232b0f%3Ag%3Ap3wAAOSwEGVd3jk~%26srcrot%3D711-53200-19255-0%26rvr_id%3D2553032126698%26rvr_ts%3De3454c721730a99b2076debdffaf59b3&_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1&ul_noapp=true https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Ply-Pickguard-For-Precision-Bass-PB-Bass-Guitar-Replacement-Part-Red-Tortoise/292646396859?hash=item442315a3bb:g:SN0AAOSwZjJU8Cbk&ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F711-53200-19255-0%2F1%3Ftype%3D4%26campid%3D5336679160%26toolid%3D10001%26afsrc%3D1%26customid%3D3043X598154Xa935276aef835c94562c28e332bdd6b5%26mpre%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.com%252Fitm%252F3-Ply-Pickguard-For-Precision-Bass-PB-Bass-Guitar-Replacement-Part-Red-Tortoise%252F292646396859%253Fhash%253Ditem442315a3bb%253Ag%253ASN0AAOSwZjJU8Cbk%26srcrot%3D711-53200-19255-0%26rvr_id%3D2553128320254%26rvr_ts%3De34661bd1730a6e571e52f26fe221c2d Edited August 12, 2020 by sarakisof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky_lowdown Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 The cheap pickguards from China have small pickup holes, they will not fit standard fender size pickups, you will need to make the holes bigger with a file. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarakisof Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 I see. Contacted Squier asking dimensions or template so to know exactly what i am looking for. Found many e sellers with different pickguard dinensions 3-4 ply etc. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
