GaryG's 3 Ply Wide Bevel "Vintage Green" Pickguard for Original 1964-1976 Fender Mustang

Please read the entire description. Vintage Accurate pickguard for 1964-1976 USA Fender Mustang

WD #34 Vintage Green Material w/Wide Bevel.
This replacement pickguard was cut by WD from our newly made EXCLUSIVE template. We acquired three original Mustang pickguards, a pearl white one from 1966, a tortoise one from 1965 and a creamy pearl one from the early 1970's. We wanted to make certain they were all cut from the same template (they were) and we wanted to make available a vintage CORRECT Mustang guard because we discovered WD's Mustang template is imperfect. We just got our first batch in and they nailed it. From the truss rod notch to the countersunk switch screw holes--all the way down to the wide beveled edges everywhere but the edge that touches the control plate. But most importantly the mounting screw holes!
We now have the template on file and nobody else gets to use it, even WD!
I can personally guarantee this is the most accurate vintage Mustang pickguard available anywhere.
Please note: Fender changed the pickguard in 1977.

This one is made with the WD's #34 Vintage Green. This material is more like the material that people originally started calling "mint green" years ago, it's not like some of the cheesy green material that's out there now that looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream. It looks more authentic.

Not compatible with ANY other Mustang style guitars, either USA made or International models. This is for the original Mustangs

FREE SCREWS!

Please note: All new pickguards are returnable UNTIL you peel off the plastic. Please be certain of fit BEFORE you do any peeling.

The Fine Print

Choosing The Correct Part: I cannot stress this enough --> Please use due diligence when selecting a pickguard, truss rod cover or back plate for your guitar or bass. There is very little cross compatibility in this industry. It is extremely important to read descriptions, ask questions, look at all the photos, and when a measurement photo is provided, it should be referred to. Don't be lazy or you're going to end up with a part that doesn't fit. Just because something looks like it fits does not mean it will. And while we do accept returns, the only one who really wins when that happens is the United States Postal Service.

Returns & Exchanges: If you need to return your item, or are interested in doing an exchange please contact us before starting a return through the platform's return service. Once you start a return it's often difficult or impossible to do an exchange. All shipping charges on returns are non-refundable.

Customer Service: We are committed to making your experience a positive one, and promise to take the time to focus on a resolution if you have any problems, so please message us through this platform's messaging or feel free to give us a call anytime between 9am-4pm MST Monday thru Friday.

Lost packages:  If the USPS scans a package as delivered, we consider it delivered. If you can't find it or suspect it was accidentally delivered to a different address, that's between you and your carrier, and you need to address the issue with them, not us. We do not offer refunds or replacements for packages that show "delivered" on the tracking. Pickguards may not fit in your standard sized mailbox, so the carrier may set it next to your mailbox or in some other location like your front door or porch, so if you are worried about the safety of your delivered package, you may want to stay on top of the tracking and be there when it arrives or ask a neighbor to grab it for you.  If the USPS actually loses the package, we will ship you a replacement.

International Customers: Please be aware that all international shipping is at the buyers risk. We have made the decision to allow our international friends to make purchases from us, but we don't have the ability to locate your package once it leaves the USA, nor can we contact any foreign postal service to make inquiries if a package gets lost in the system. If your package is lost or stolen, or you fail to pick it up or deal with paying duties, or anything else, we will not be processing any refunds. We are a small independent family run business, we're not Amazon. All international shipping charges are non-refundable.

Our Story: We are an independent family run business based in Boise, ID. Our ultimate goal is to provide difficult (and virtually impossible) to source musical instrument parts to players, collectors, and restoration specialists worldwide. I'm an avid player, collector and builder/repairman/restoration guy myself; I apprenticed under "Luthier To The Stars" John Bolin (Billy Gibbons, Steve Miller, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, etc) back in the early 1980's. I've spent the last 4 decades doing a lot of repair and restoration work. My biggest gripe was always having to fabricate my own plastic parts to replace broken, shrunken or missing pickguards, truss rod covers, back plates, etc. I always wished somebody would eventually come along and start a business specializing in this kind of stuff, but nobody ever did. So in 2015 I decided to do it myself. And I quickly discovered exactly why nobody had successfully done it before - it's a time suck of galactic proportions, and an expensive one at that. In the last 8 years we've spent inordinate amounts of money (and time) acquiring hundreds of original vintage plastic parts, sometimes borrowing, sometimes working with customers to design replacements for impossible to find parts. It's rewarding, frustrating and a lot of hard work, but I love it, and I love my customers. Nothing brings me more joy than customers sending me photos of their completed projects. I'm fully committed to making sure my customers are happy with their purchases, and understand the importance of incredible customer service. I'll ALWAYS make time to answer questions or talk shop.
