Ibanez Blazer Bass Pickguard

[Nethron1924]

Hello,
I am desperately searching for a tracing of the original pickguard of an 1981 Ibanez Blazer Bass. Can anyone here help me out?

Hi,

I've just purchased one and need to get the pick guad replaced. I'm in contact with someone who is looking for one, if not, the current pick guard was taken from a trace of it's original.

If you've already found one, can you let me know.

Cheers,

Steve

Did you find one in the end? I've decided to necro-bump your thread as I found it while looking for info on a new pickguard for my 1981 Blazer, so figure someone else might find it looking for the same...

Here's a tracing of my pickguard - for scale, the lined paper it's traced on to is A3 sized (420mm x 297mm or 16.5in x 11.7in)

It looks like my bass has a different bridge than yours... I don't know if there are slight variations in bridge/body sizings, but for comparison here's my bass:

If anyone is aware of other sources for a pickguard, other than Dalkowski's suggestion above, then feel free to chime in... I'm always happy to look at more options

Thank you so much. No i didn't find one. All the guys who had a tracing only would sell it with a pickguard for arround 90€.
You solved my problem. Big thanks to you

The picture i found there might help you.

Little Update on the pickguard. The tracing fits perfectly. I put the image of the tracing in a PDF file and had to scale it up to 104% thats the size that worked for me.

I cut a pickguard out of paper and I fits nice. Only my cutting was not very good. You can see it in the picture.

For the next person who is looking to make an Ibanez Blazer pickguard, I scanned mine and cleaned it up. Here’s an SVG that I was able to laser cut out of acrylic. It’s a bit thicker than the original pickguard material but there are some really snazzy acrylic designs available!
