Who can supply a blank jazzmaster pickguard?

Simon_M

I'm thinking of doing a parts-master build. Can anyone recommend someone who can supply a blank JM pickguard? I want one that's cut to the right shape (so I don't have to do the mitred edges) but allows me to drill for my own pots and pickups etc...

I'm thinking of having mini-humbuckers and a minimal control layout. Probably just volume and pickup selector.

There is a shop on eBay called 'earlpilanz' that sells lots of blank scratchplates.  I have bought blank strat and Tele deluxe scratchplates and a Tele deluxe scratchplate cut for humbuckers from there.

His eBay shop is currently shut until the 19th of May.  He is based outside Glasgow.  Sometimes there are 'bound and blocks' F style necks on there too.  The shop is often closed, I guess it will s a side last line.

Good luck with your search.

Wdmusic will let you custom order any plate without control or pickup holes.

I’ve  had a couple from them like that.

I have a tortoiseshell one that I won't be using if you'd like it.

You can use the 'find shop' search function on eBay to get there.

Yes, his work is excellent.

Simon_M… don't know what other parts you have for your build, but...

Northwest Guitars are now doing Jazzmaster bodies.

I bought one of their strat bodies in Olympic White a couple of years ago and bolted on a Squier neck.  Body is really resonant, 3 piece.

I fitted some Creamery mini-humbuckers on my tele deluxe partscaster.

I used to have a LP Deluxe from the 70's and I think these pickups are pretty close in sound.


Happy hunting!
