I bought this to put on my Highway 1 P base and it was just a little smaller than the original pick guard. On a normal bass, I don’t think it would’ve been a problem, but the highway one has a satin matte finish, and therefore a slight discoloration due to where it’s exposed to the light, more than on a glossy finish. With the smaller sized Pickguard, you could see the line from the previous one. That just won’t do. Also, the tortoiseshell was very lackluster and dark, with very little gold speckling. Seemed well made, and all the holes aligned perfectly, and around the neck pocket too. Just too bad about the outer sizing.

I bought this for a 2019 Fender American Pro P and it does not fit. Its binding the pickups and blocks the truss rod adjustment.

If you are hoping that this pickguard will have the brilliant reds, yellows, and oranges of original 1960's Fender tortoise shell material, then keep looking. Spitfire is as close as you are going to get. However, this pickguard is made from a true cellulose nitrate top layer, similar to the 1960's pickguards. These Fender pickguards tend to be on the brown side; there isn't a lot of red in them. If brown tortoise shell is what you want, then this is perfect! All the holes line up perfectly with my American Vintage '63 P-bass. It also works well on my American Special P-bass. While the material is sturdy, I was a bit disappointed that it didn't have a foil shield on the back.

Review for Gold Anodized Aluminum PickguardMakes my Fender Player Precision bass look classic. Easy to replace. The one thing to note is that this pickguard has 10 holes/screws while most of the Fender P basses have 13 holes/screws. There is one screw hole near the volume control that does not have wood under it. I just glued the screw in place for looks. If you have a sunburst bass with a maple neck, this is the look to go with!Review for Tortoise Shell PickguardJust perfect. Original Fender part. Makes my Fender P Bass look awesome. Only concern is there is no shielding tape on the back of the pickguard, so minus one star. I don't notice any hum or anything but the other pickguards I have tried had silver shielding tape on the back.

It fit perfectly on my 1959 P-bass and is of good quality. There were some packaging issues from Amazon.

I replaced the white pick guard that came with the P-bass. Fit perfectly. However there are three or four small holes in the guard for some reason. Not sure why. But are not at all noticeable unless you are looking for them. I put it on my brown burst P-Bass and it looks great!
