Fender Jazz Replacement Pickguards - where in UK?

[cockbongo]

Help me out here guys.

I'm looking for a nice replacement tortoiseshell pickguard for my Fender Am DLX Jazz 5, and can't find anywhere online in the UK that stock them. The Fender site acknowledges the existence of the official "part", but the only place I can see that has em is here - [url="http://www.wdmusic.com/pickguard_jbad5_300.html"]http://www.wdmusic.com/pickguard_jbad5_300.html[/url] - this place seems to have them all!

Anyone know of (or bought from) somewhere reputable in the UK for these?

Cheers in advance

Ask at your local Fender dealer and see if they can order one in for you. A friend of mine did it this way, I think he paid around £30 or £40 for it though. I'm sure someone here could recommend a cheaper alternative. I'd be interested in what anyone else can put forward as I'm thinking of getting a replacement an can only think of eBay for online sale.

+1 for WD but expensive !!

Howard (BassDoc) can do top class torti guards, uses stuff most companies don't use cos it's too expensive !!

Well, WD in the UK don't sell any 5 string pickguards at all, and neither do allparts.uk, so I guess it'll have to be a custom one from Aurora.

Seems odd, bearing in mind these are Fenders. I'll pop up to a couple of music shops in town and see if they can order one in from Fender themselves.
