Wylde mustang sighting at bowery ballroom last week! I had the honor/horror to play to a sold out crowd for the first (and probably) last time last week.

Picked up this awesome vintage white 2005 CIJ recently and swapped the pickguard from the stock tortoise to white pearloid.

Thanks. I ordered it from Precision Guitar on Reverb. It's a perfect fit and feels much nicer than the stock guard. He can do pretty much any color combo.

Word of warning– the guy isn't great at communication. Apparently, he ran out of pearloid material right before I purchased so my order was delayed an extra 3 1/2 weeks on top of the initial 2-week wait. He didn't bother telling me until I asked what was taking so long (and that took 6 days for him to respond). As long as you're not in a rush, I'd say go for it.

If I wanted to get a JMJ pickguard, what would I get? I can't seem to find the JMJ specific anywhere, does any other option fit correctly?

I don’t have one either.

I've purchased a couple of pickguards from him and each fit perfect and was exactly what I ordered. True, there was no extraneous conversation but the product was good and reasonably priced. I would not hesitate to order from him again. My last one was a special order with no pickup cutout so my tech could fit it for my new Serek pup in my CV Mustang. He responded simply that he could do it when I asked. Just note it in the order which I did. It arrived correctly.

I'd drop a note to him via Reverb. the worst that could happen is he doesn't answer.

The MIJs are my favorite. I had one years ago and sold it. Now I’m looking for one at a good price. I just hate to pay $1200 for a pristine one. What I like is the neck profile, the weight, and the single pickup and true Mustang bridge (and Fender decal if I’m honest.). I like my Am Special and PJ, and also my Squier, but the MIJ just has everything I like and nothing I don’t.

I’ve had very good luck with both Pickguardian and Chandler Music. I’ve ordered 2 or 3 from each over the years. They can make any guard in just about any color.
