I have a Squire Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz Bass.

I want to put a pick guard and thumb rest on it.
I bought some parts from Musician's Friend but the pick guard is way off.

The one I got is the 9 HOLE FENDER AMERICAN J-BASS DLX PICKGUARD TRTS SHELL.

Does anyone know what pick guard would match this bass?


Thanks

Can try www.pickguards.com as suggested by Zod, but when I was looking, you actually have to trace the pg and send it to them. They don't have Squiers in their file and apparently the Squier pg is a little dif't than Fender pg. I was going to get a smoked mirror pg, I traced mine (I have the VM 70's JBass), even had the holes, but for $60 I can do more than just a pickguard so I kept mine off, I like the look better w/o.


Edit for more info: If you want I can send you my tracing, it should match your bass since mine is also a Squier.

:lol: Hi! I have the Vintage modified fretless and I installed a pearl pick guard! In addition I replaced the knobs with the standard jazz bass knobs and replaced the bridge with a Badass II (huge improvement with the tone) and yes the pick guard did not match at first because the control plate was a little pointed compared to the standard plates and the neck was a little wide so yep filling it would do the trick! I just used sand paper and it did it! I had to nail some holes for the pick guard screws ayayay I felt bad while I was doing it but check out how it looks like and how it sounds!
