Fellow Club Sadowsky members - I am looking for a MIJ Metro pick guard for a PJ configuration (for an RV5 currently JJ), or if someone is willing to trace their pickguard with the P route and send to me?

I found a luthier I trust to make the mod to my RV5, but need a Sadowsky pickguard that is already cut to get the exact location and specs for the route. My RV5 is a 2008.

Really appreciate the assistance. Sadowsky no longer sells these, and I cannot find a used one online.

The issue you may have is that I believe the pickguards on the P/J's are actually slightly bigger than the J/J's to accommodate putting the P pickup in the correct location. The control plate is moved back toward the end of the body to allow for the larger pickguard. I'm not sure if the control route is moved back, as well. It might be possible to just move the control plate back a bit and drill new screw holes. This may not be a simple swap as one might think.

They are close. I would adjust the pick guard before I'd move the control plate. PM me with your address, I can send you a trace of the guard.

The control plate is routed just like a typical passive jazz bass so you might still be able to move it. I'm just not sure there's enough room in the cavity to move it back.

I just checked - a tiny move would work if needed. Maybe I’ll just get the pickguard template, measure against my current one, and have Pickguard Planet cut it to that measurement.

I'd call the shop for guidance. They have worked out all of the math on this and can likely give you some direction.
