The used mij fender 62 jazz bass that I bought has so much scratches becaue the guy who sold the bass tried to clean dirty thing with magic block cleaner and baking powders.
I tried to replace pickguard but fender pickguards were so much expensive.
I think the scratch won't damage the finish because it is polyeaster finish but will it be wierd if I try to take off the pickguard and play with non pick guard bass like Jaco did?
I know it is polyeaster finished not lacquered but.

No pickguard is fine, many do it.

Get some Meguir's Scratch-X (or something similar) and try and minimize the scratches. You would be amazed at the stuff they can get out. If your bass has no top routing, go ahead and take the guard off. None of my Jazz basses have pickguards on them.
