You are bidding on one Guard....YOUR CHOICE  one vintage " Strat or Tele, Mustang, Precission or Jazz Bass" Here is a few feedbacks received and or email from a local customer! Hi Joe, I've been out of town until yesterday.  Last night I installed them.  I installed the Tele guard on a parts tele with allot of old 50's & 60's parts. It fit perfectly.  The Strat Pick guard went on a  '60 strat relic in fiesta red.  It looks awesome!  Much better then anything else out there.  The only hitch is that on the strat, the screw whole location between the pickups Didn’t match.  The pick guard was right, the guitar wasn't.  It's a reissue,so what the hell.  I just screwed in the new screw.  The other problem was that the pickup mounting screws required Countersunk holes on the pick guard. I just used a countersink bit to modify the pick guard.  It worked perfectly.   Really looks nice. Thank you! Alan   Well its never to late to learn I always say and I surly have Learned a lesson...that will never happen again with regards to the holes not being countersunk my vender I now use is the only one I will use from Now On.. THESE ARE THE BEST QUALITY MOST ACCURATE Guards Available today to start with, properly Countersunk holes, groove cut above the neck pickup to accommodate adjustment of the truss rod just like the originals. The guards without consistent countersinking were PURCHASED BY ME here ON EBAY from another reputable parts dealer as you could trace back my feedback I suppose...anyway those Old Stock Guards purchased by me back then and purchased several and most were inconsistent...anyways those are ALL-GONE-SOLD now and only my newest Vender's Superior Quality Japan Crafted Green Guards are offered from now on... Just in from same source...Trem Cover plates, Knobs, Pickup covers, Tips for switch & tremolo bar....  Here are a few recent feedbacks on the guards from experienced vintage guys: ** Awesome relic guard! A++ Ebayer ** Outstanding! Item Exactly As Described; Quick & Secure Shipping-No Worries Here! ** Great Product....fast shipping...great communication...THE BEST! ** Excellent seller!
