Pick guard for 57 AVRI P Bass

Dr Goggles · #1 02-23-2013, 05:20 AM

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement pg for the American vintage 57 RI P bass? I want to replace the gold anodised with a white pg, but can't find anyone that does this ( 10 screw not 13 ).

Thanks

Per Warmoth's site, they don't carry the anodized 10-hole pg.

Try Musician's Friend for a genuine Fender replacement pg....

EDIT; Oops, didn't catch that you wanted white - I'll keep looking...

I'm looking to swap the anodised gold pg for a white or parchment plastic one. Just can't find this item anywhere.

Here you go. Trace your existing pg, and these folks will make you a replacement in any color you want...

All you will have is one hole by the controls that you will need to cover with a screw. I just glue a screw head into the hole as its just over the control cavity. I did this with a mint green 62 RI pickguard on a classic 50's (same guard) and it worked out fine.

That sounds like a good idea as I didn't want to go drilling more holes in it. So the standard P pg is the same as the '57 apart from the extra screws?

No, you will need to drill more holes unless you custom order one. All the holes will line up but one will be over the control cavity (hence, the screw head idea). On the plus side, the holes will not be seen, even when you go back and forth between pickguards. I recommend either the mint or white 62RI from this site:
