Musiclily5 Hole Vintage Tele Pickguard Guitar Scratch Plate for USA/Mexican Made Fender Telecaster Style, 3Ply Mint Green

This is the second pickguard I have purchased from them and they have (once again) exceeded my expectations with a caveat. This pickguard was shipped with a small cut in the lower corner near the control plate (see photograph). But, it was the last one according to the Amazon website and I did NOT want any other style (Parchment Pearl).Replacement pickguards from Fender cost anywhere between $35 and $55. Musiclily pickguards run about $10 or $12 and lack nothing in terms of quality.I got this particular pickguard for a Squier Classic Vibe 60s Custom Telecaster made in Indonesia. In order to get the neck pickup to fit, you will need to drill a hole on either side of the existing opening for said pickup (See attached photo).I also had to re-drill a hole in the body of the guitar to accommodate the existing hole in the Musiclily pickguard (see photo). If doing this kind of minimal cosmetic work intimidates you, you might want to look for a different guard but if I can do it, ANYONE can. Just be certain your drill bit is new and sharp and take your time. It is not difficult.To sum up: This is a beautiful and classy pickguard that rivals Fender in terms of quality. I am bummed that it was damaged but too impatient to return it for a replacement. I can, with great confidence, recommend Musiclily pickguards to anyone who wants to customize the look of their Telecaster.

This pickguard is ridiculously nice, particularly for the price! The quality is every bit as good as Fender or WD. This one is mounted on a ‘62 avri Tele. Everything fit flawlessly. I own this one and a ‘52 avri, so if I buy replacement guards always buy the 5-hole versions as they work on both models. You’d think at this price point there would be some corners cut in quality but nope! This guard is top shelf all the way. Hats off to this company for their quality and value.

I used this to replace the one-ply pickguard on a Vintera 50s Telecaster. It fits and looks great but one screw hole was off just enough that I had to angle the screw in. Now that it’s on you have to look really close to see it. Overall, I’m very satisfied.

I have used genuine fender, allparts, and warmoth mint green pickguards in the past, this color is right there. There are a few imperfections on the edges and no shielding, but when installed, it fits perfectly, looks good and has no warping at all. I'd recommend it for parts after builds or for a new flavor. There's just something special about that mint green look.

I’ve built several ‘partscasters’ over the years, and since ‘I’ am the ‘customer’, I look to save a buck or twelve whenever I can while not losing any quality in the parts. Having used their pickguard/scratch plates a LOT, I’ve found that Musiclily makes as good a ‘less expensive option’ as there is out there. We all know that the ‘Big Two’ like us to buy parts with their corporate logo on them, and we have to pay a premium for that. In this case, I found a quite precisely made pickguard for about 1/4 to a 1/3 of the OEM product. Lining it up against its ‘real thing’ counterpart, the size, shape, and screw holes are PERFECTLY replicated. Other than apply shielding to the back side & peel the protective film off the front… it went straight on & you would never know it didn’t come out of Corona, California, USA.For a lower price you simply cannot beat that.At this point I think I’ve used Musiclily pickguards on 7 guitars. T’s and S’s. And I’d bet you a shiny new quarter that you couldn’t pick them out as not being the brand name product.I hope this helps someone.

Pickguard as discribed,made perfectly

Maybe getting a 2ply throws it off a bit since I replaced a 1ply pick guard I don't know but the fit is slightly off. It still looks great on my guitar and the slight warping doesn't effect my playing at all. Great value but it doesn't quite make the grade.

Perfect fit. I would have gladly spent more for a USA made part, but FMIC's offering is also made oversees.

Muy buen producto de calidad

Gostei muito.
