Hi,

I've just aquired a 1968 Precision Bass, everything is original apart from the pickguard although the full shielding plate is still there. The pickup and bridge covers are also missing.

Can anyone tell me if a reissue '62 Tortoise Shell Pickguard from Fender would be correct for my '68? Is the color and fit the same as a '68 one? I'd really like to make it look as original as possible (a real '68 pickguard would be impossible to find)

Thanks,

Ted

you'd be surprised what you find on ebay :p

Though if it were genuine you'd pay a mint for it :/

Yes, I should have added "within my price range"

Ted,

I got covers from Musicians Friend cheap. Actually they look good. My local Guitar Center had the pickguard, it didn't look bad, just have to decide how long you want to look and how much you have to pay.

Good luck.

Ron
