Although I am not certain, I ordered this for an original 1973 precision bass that has 3 more screw holes than this pick guard. The screw holes line up and the three extras are simply covered by the pick guard when installed, seeing as the three extra screw holes are covered by the pick guard. There may be some variation in fit depending on the If I were you, I would just examine the screw orientations to match them up
This model has the same origin and model number as mine.
Black is one of my favorite colors. It is a pick guard for my Made in Mexico 50's Classic P-47 pickup You're playing bass. The pick guard fits nicely but has more holes than the classic pick guard from the 1950s, so I added two screws to it. This is the location of the screw holes for The US Standard and the Mexican Standard. They both refer to the same thing.
There is no way to modify it to fit a different bass. The bass needs to be an American Precision Standard.
Selected User Reviews For Fender Standard Precision Bass Pickguard,13 Hole, 3-Ply - Black
The fit was great, nice and tight around the pickups but not overly so. I finished the transaction in ten minutes starting from the beginning. The strings did not even need to be removed. The only thing I didn't like was the black matte finish on the cover, which feels almost like sticky wax paper and does not want to come off, although I thought maybe the cover was a thin plastic protection covering. The box also had a few little scratches in it as delivered, but I turned it on because I wanted the bass blacked out and to make it different from the reflective sticker. Also, I use my thumb as a brace when it is sticky, so I can grab it. This probably is a flim I will have to peel off, but it looks awesome The answer is unknown to anyone. The following is a description of Fender shipped it in a box that was much too big and thicker than the Fender packaging, so it wasn't scratched in shipping.
I love my new Fender Precision Bass pickguard. I was glad to get it to replace an original white pickup still covered with a sticker that the previous owner had left on for It looked tan and gave my black precision a blotchy appearance. This one is black and makes it look like I have a tan line. As opposed to the white pickguard, I prefer this one.
My Mexican Fender Precision Bass came with this and I thought that I had made the wrong purchase for a week because it seemed to have a scratched up matte finish instead of being smooth and shiny. A short time later, I peeled off a thin, almost invisible plastic coating to reveal the real pickguard. Installation was simple and the result is wonderful. You can peel off the plastic once you have removed it. *Note however, that some basses have a truss rod hole toward the body at the base of the fretboard. Basses with truss rod holes on the top of the fretboard near the tuning pegs are uncommon (which is how mine is). Despite its small size, this pickguard is the size of a quarter The circle will be cut in half. It was cut out at the top to accommodate for the presence of a truss rod hole next to The notch on my bass serves no purpose and leaves a tiny portion of the bass exposed. When you buy an instrument, I don't care too much as long as it is in good shape.
With my 2001 MIA Precision, the holes did not line up well. Only two of the eight are perfect, while four can go in crooked, but the remaining seven are gonna need an alternative. The case does not come with screws, which is worth noting.
The flat black guard, single ply pick that came with the guitar is being replaced with this one. I really liked the Silvertone pick guard on this Fender bass! It's amazingly better than before!
I added some SD quarter pounders as well, so it now sounds as good as it looks. The screw holes were slightly off, but it fitted really well considering it is a different brand. )*Thanks a lot!.
An old P who needed it, who had lost everything to this small item, was saved by a revival of a Base. Nevertheless, the star of the show is now in the spotlight, with the look to match that punch to the guts, like the inertial stomach flip you used to get while popping hilltops on Friday nights in the old '64 Chevy Impala. Make a base you love a little more alive by adding some life to it.
My expectation was fulfilled, the part is an actual Fender part. A little trimming will be needed to enable it to fit on a Squire P bass although it is of high quality. You will need to remove the original guard and put it on top of the new one, put the screws through the holes for proper alignment, tape or clamp it when you are ready and cut/file anything.
