do they sell pickguards for a squier affintitys telecaster?

[greasygroove]

@undrclasshro We do, but we'd need you to send us your original piakcguard or a tracing so we can be sure of a good fit. Please emial us from our website for more info. Thanks

would you mind doeing one for a P-BASS?

thanks

[greasygroove]

For the Pbass, follow the same procedure. The pickup is not attached to the pickguard - it stays screwed into the body when the pickguard is removed. Control knobs have a small screw in the side that needs loosening to remove them. The Pots are attached to the guard the same as a Strat Pots and jack socket are easily removed with a small wrench. The guard can be removed without removing all of the strings - Just loosen them all off. I hope that this helps for now.

Seems easy enough...

@jd1655 Hi, Unfortunately not any Tele pickguard will fit your Squire, but we can recreate a pickguard for you from your original pickguard or a tracing. Please send us an email from our website if you'd be interested and we'll send more info.

Thanks!

Hi Groover

I'm looking to buy and install a new Tele pickguard. I've got an 1984 Squire with 8 screw holes. Will any Tele designed pick guard fit or do I need an exact match of some sort?

thanks
