Hey Molly, finally had a look in the parts draw. I have three of those guards in white. Let me know if you can work with one.

Eh up. Thanks for looking. I want the non-chamfered, five screw one in black to be honest. We've a laser cutter at work and the guys think they can cut me one out if I get the plastic. Got to be worth a try.

That's what I'm thinking. The 52 one.

I had (still have?) a 1 ply black one from a Squier Classic Vibe. Is that something that may suit? I won't bother looking if it's not.

Could well be if it's 5 screw. Don't want to put you to any trouble.

A quick google seems to show they have 5 screws. I'm away this week, will look this weekend.
