Help! Replacement pickguard for Fender Jazz V (5-string)?

[GatorDogDoc]

Does anybody know if the pickguard from a 4-string Fender MIM (Standard) Jazz bass will fit a 5-string Fender MIM Jazz bass?

I wouldn't think so, since (I'm assuming) the neck pickup is probably wider, but I can't seem to find anyone selling a pickguard SPECIFICALLY for a Fender MIM Jazz V (Passive).

Mine is a 2005 model, 10 hole, no truss rod notch.

I've checked Jeannie's, Chandler, and a few others-- all I see are passive 4-string, and active 5-strings... no passive MIM 5-string.

Any help would be appreciated.

I just found some information that appears to answer my posted question....

I'm posting what I found as a reference for others who may search this forum for the same info.

On Music123 / Musician's Friend they list a new product that should fit:

Item # 364898
Fender J Bass V Pick Guard (Shell)
Tortoise shell, 4-ply, 10-hole, 5-string Jazz Bass pickguard. Fits American Series and American Standard Jazz Bass V (USA), and Standard V and Deluxe Series Active Jazz Bass V (Mexico).

This is OEM Fender!

Seems that there is commonality with the American Series, American Standard, MIM Deluxe Series Active, and MIM Standard Jazz V pickguards.

Hope this helps other Jazz V owners out there.

WD Music stocks pickguards for MIM Jazz V 5-string basses. These are apparently a pretty close fit for the Squier Affinity Jazz V as well, just a bit short at the neck.
