Musiclily 8 Hole Tele Pickguard Scratch Plate for USA/Mexican Fender American Standard Telecaster Modern Style Electric Guitar, 3Ply Black

Originally my Fender American Special Tele 2011 was with a black pickguard. Finally, I have switched to the classic Sunburst + White pickguard.Fits perfectly! Looks GREAT!

I put this on a Limited Edition Squier Tele and can't believe the improvement in looks! If you have a Strat or Tele with the standard white pickguard, try one of these and see what a difference it makes. This is a high-quality pickguard and all of the screw holes even lined up perfectly. No problem using this with either the stock pickups or the Wilkinson upgrade pickups I put in the guitar. I've done a fair amount of business with Musiclily thru the years and have found that they really care about their customers and provide some of the best customer service I've ever experienced, not that I've had to use it much. And no, I do not work for them.

I put this pickguard on a Squier CV body. I had an extra Fender neck. It was was a perfect fit. Screws lined up perfectly. Probably not as nice as a $40 pickguard but if that’s what you’re looking for you wouldn’t be buying this one. If you’re picky about vintage this guard is predrilled for neck pickup mounting which is not vintage.

I needed a 3 ply black on white pickguard to replace the clear monstrosity that comes stock on the Leo Jaymz tele style guitars. I knew this wouldn’t be an exact fit and I’d need to do some modding. However It fit nearly perfectly, all but 3 of the holes matched the existing holes on the guitar. Being a sub $200 guitar I had no hesitation to drill 3 small pilot holes. The control plate cutout needed a few minutes of sanding to make it fit the slightly larger control plate, other than that it fit and looks like it belongs on it.

Fits my fender japan hybrid II tele very nice. the pickup holes are a tad bit narrow for the neck pickup screws. all i did was drill out the two holes a tiny bit so the pickup height adjustment screws will flow thru easy. otherwise reinstalling the pickups with the springs will be frustrating.

I purchased the white pearl pickguard. I was unsure of the quality and fit based on some of the reviews here. First of all, the fit was exact on my Squier Standard Telecaster, however, I did opt to drill out the pickup screw holes slightly as these were a snug fir for the pickup screws and prefer a floating feel for these. All other screw holes lined up perfectly and the cutouts were spot on. It is worth noting that there are two layers of protective coatings on these. The pickguard looks awesome and is a great quality replacement/upgrade!!!

I have a Squire Bullet Telecaster in Lake Placid blue and really didn't like the minty white pickguard it came with, so I ordered the single-ply black guard to replace it. The quality of the new guard is on par with the original, the size and position off all the cutouts matched exactly, and all the holes lined up perfectly. My only gripe is that I wish it came with black screws instead of chrome. I just ordered those separately for a few bucks. It was well worth the cost and time/effort to install (all five minutes of it, lol). it completely transformed the look of the guitar.

In the short time I’ve been messing around finding better-looking - better-MATCHING is actually a better descriptor - pick guards for my guitars, I’ve found out what a crapshoot it is; proper fit & screw hole alignment - general quality - varies greatly from manufacturer-to-manufacturer. Well, this was the first replacement pick guard I ever bought for any guitar, but specifically, it was purchased for my Agave Blue 2001 MIM Fender Telecaster, which I have always loved, in spite of the boring white factory P.G. that came with it.If this guard had been a big problem to install, or if it’d been defective in some way, I would likely have just forgotten about pick guards for a while and just accepted whatever the companies feel like putting on a new guitar, for all future purchases…but this MusicLily pick guard was easy & fun to install, not to mention much better-looking on my Telecaster than the white one that had been on it from the time of purchase. I’ve since gone a bit pick-guard-batty with other guitars in my collection, adding a whole new, fun & completely unforeseen dimension to my joyous experiences in the world of guitar.Mostly I’ve managed to (luckily; not through any particularly-thorough circumspection or brilliance on my part) avoid poorly-templated PG’s, but there have been a couple I had to kinda re-connoiter…if this first- ever P.G. i bought had been like THAT to install, my first & last impression for the time being would’ve been, “Waaay more trouble than it’s worth”, but luckily it wasn’t, and for that I thank Music Lily; every industry has to “capture” new customers. There is a dire need in every industry for QUALITY manufacturers; if my experience with this pick guard is any indication, Music lily is one of these… I mean, I know it’s just a pick guard, a mostly cosmetic - not that that is unimportant - & functionally-unnecessary guitar part, but if you’ve ever bought one that doesn’t fit, you know what an awful experience that can be. It would have put me off changing anything, for probably a long time, if my first change-over had been unpleasant. I can’t emphasize that enough…So, really, thanks Music Lilly, and keep up the quality!
