Jazzmaster Pickguards

Post by smallface »

Hey learned folk of NZGuitars,

Is there any difference between a pickguard for a Japanese Jazzmaster and a US made one?

I have a Japanese model want to swap out the existing one for a mint green or of white guard and wanted to check first. Standard 60's JM layout.

Cheers :-)

I have a bunch of white three ply pickguard blanks if you're up to some DIY. Also white or grey mother-of-toilet-seat.

Appreciate that, but I'm the world's worst DIY guy so probably not the best option for me. Thanks though. :-)

And how about an Indonesian made Squier JM? Wondering the same.

I think there are some differences. I have a friend who has one and I think he has a US guard on it which doesn't quite fit. Will check with him tomorrow. :-)

If you are completely stuck, I can route you one
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
