bassist_lewis Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I want to get a different pickguard for my mustang but I'm not sure how to be certain it's going to fit. I bought one over Xmas but it didn't fit - the screw holes didn't line up and the cutaway for the neck was too small. Does anyone have experience of a reliable site for mustang pick guards? It's for a Mexican made Vintera mustang. Quote

My hero!! I've actually emailed WD music to see if what they currently make will fit, and I have an axesrus one lying around that does fit except the pickup cutouts are are for the larger modern sized pickups. But that eBay one might be the one! Edited March 26, 2021 by bassist_lewis Quote
Trueno Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Earlpilanz on ebay is recommended by some bc’ers. I ordered a Mustang pickguard from him... needed a MIM PJ without the hole for the pickup switch. Great service and great pickguard edit... can’t find him on ebay now... maybe it’s lockdown brain-fog... or maybe someone else will know better. Edited March 26, 2021 by Trueno 2 Quote
meterman Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 I had a good experience using Earlpillanz (Brian) - I messaged him through eBay about a custom pickguard for a parts-stang bass and he made me exactly what I was after. About £27 if I remember correctly and turnaround was about 10 days. Last year he cut a pickguard for an old MIJ Bullet bass for me, and every screw hole lined up perfectly and it was a perfect fit. Can definitely recommend him 👍 Quote

Can definitely recommend him 👍 is that his name on eBay? I will definitely give him a shout. WD Music are having to check with their US supplier, and the other eBay guy I was linked to doesn't do international shipping yet 1 Quote

If you find him on ebay and none of his listings are quite what you need you can send him a message and he’s usually pretty quick to respond. I sent him a pickguard last time so he could use it as a template, I think I had it back in 12 days or something, and that was in lockdown 2, so he’s pretty good I’d say. 2 Quote
EssentialTension Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 I've had two from this supplier and both were a perfect fit. http://www.pickguardplanet.com/fender-squier-mustang-bass/ Quote
