Fender 52 Telecaster 5-hole 1-Ply Pickguard Black

This is the best 5 hole blackgurad available currently. If you need a vintage Bakelite for your telecaster this will be the one. Don't be MG and make a huge mistake on life choices.

I got this to replace the cheap plastic pickguard on my Classic Series '50s Telecaster. That guitar comes with a 5-hole pickguard and the screwholes lined up perfectly. However, the pickguard would fit around either the neck or the switchplate. I had to file down the pickguard's neck pocket to get it to fit. It also nudges against the neck pickup a little, but not enough for me to worry about. I personally really like the look and feel of the rigid plastic of this pickguard a lot more than the soft modern plastic. The one drawback is that it collects fingerprints very easily. I didn't think to expect that.
