Vintera Pickguard

[BassAdder60]

Which one ? 
 

Slight dilemma and that is finding 10hole PBass pickguards in the U.K. at a sensible price 

 

13 hole versions have extra holes around the vol/ tone/ Jack area and appear to have no body under them IE routing is different

I like the black one

I’m trying to source a 10hole black 3 ply but only seem to be 1ply or 13hole as the one in the photo

I like the gold one, I’ve got one on my P bass special, but if not the black

I’ve emailed them to ask if they can do without the pickup cover holes

Pretty sure I got a pickguard for my Vintera jazz from earlpilanz on ebay. I'd be amazed if he doesn't do a P equivalent.

👆what he said up there. Drop him a msg thru his eBay shop, chances are he’ll have it on file….failing that send him the original to copy. Good spud is Brian 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A thought occurred to me - the aluminium plate has less screw holes as it’s stiffer/stronger, so doesn’t need as much support as the plastic.  Maybe standard 10 hole scratchplate doesn’t exist for that reason?

That’s a good point .. I think around the controls and Jack socket where the 13hole guards have the extra holes are perhaps for that very reason

Mmm, black on red, tasty.

And .. for those who may think just screw a 13 hole guard on the issue is there isn’t any wood under the cavity area for the extra screws to go ! 
Hence why it’s more tricky

Black anodized aluminium?
