About a year ago, I saw clear Perspex sheets in Wicks (40 x 60 cms) I think for about a tenner. They were about 3 mm. You could scribe round your one, cut out, tape together and drill through the holes in the original.

There's a guy on ebay called Dazbootman who makes them to order and ships from the States. He's got a clear one [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Clear-Plexiglass-Fender-Jazz-Bass-5-String-Pickguard_W0QQitemZ220390458335QQihZ012QQcategoryZ41424QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262"]HERE[/url] but the £ against the $ dollar means they're expensive at the mo.

+1 for Dazbootman in terms of quality - I have two stunning MM Sterling pickguards from him. Due to the £v$, I'm sure there must be some cheaper alternatives in the UK at the moment.

[url="http://www.auroraproject.co.uk/scratchplate.htm"]TMT Music[/url] list clear single ply in their site.

I bought a black/white/black 3 ply from them for my black jaguar and it was fine. I suppose I could call it a Fender Panther now.

Try www.wdmusic.co.uk

They currently have some for around £25,depending on which Jazz you have though.
If they can't help,then their US site may have some.

Aurora project will do them, sadly they've not been getting mentioned enough on here recently.

That's the same company as TMT - an offshoot, I think.
