Question Is there a direct replacement pickguard for the Fender Highway One P-bass?

Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone know of a direct replacement pickguard for the Fender Highway One P-bass? I'd like to get a brown tortoise guard without having to re-drill the screw holes. If not, could someone shed some light on how to fit an aftermarket pickguard when the holes don't line up? Thanks so much!

This one is a std. 13 hole w/deep truss rod notch. Looks like it would work.

I have a 2006 Highway One P-Bass. I used to have an 07 MIA P-Bass, and the two stock/factory pickguards on the 2 basses were the same. All the holes lined up and all.
I tried the different aftermarket pickguards that I got for one bass on the other bass, and they were absolutely fine fit-wise. I got the pickguards from All-Parts, Stew-Mac, and WD Music.
And the pickguards all fit on my Squier VM too.
YMMV

Here's a shot of the Stew-Mac tort pg on my HO.

I've had three different MIA pickguards on my pre-upgrade 2006 Highway 1. They all fit perfectly.

Anyone Else.

Anyone know which one of these would work....I have a couple of after market ones that I got used that don't seem to fit quite right. Any ideas?

Could it possibly be the hole placement on the body?

The one I put on mine is a "Fender '62 Precision P-Bass Pickguard Brown Tortoise". No idea if that's different from standard Fender P PG's or not, but the holes all lined up and it dropped in without any issue.

I had several pickguards i tried on, and borrowed several, and not 1 lined up perfectly. I guess mine was a bit of a troublesome child. Oh well, the extra holes in the bass dont bug me anymore. Shes mine forever :P

I would think a "genuine" Fender brand American Standard pickguard would fit.

I bought a pickguard intended for the American series for mine and it fit perfectly. I think most 13-hole guards will.
