I'm going to put a pair of '62 reissue pickups in my '64 Jag. I know, I know, I should find old pickups (and I will eventually) to put in there, but I found a deal on these and I really want the humbuckers OUT OF THERE! The previous owner messed with the pickups and I'm trying to get it to at least look and sound like a Jaguar again.
And admittedly I would probably use a reissue pickguard, since the original is sadly cut to fit the humbuckers, but as you probably know, the reissue pickguard won't fit on the old Jags.
Other than sending a trace of my pickguard to get one custom made, where would I find a replacement pickguard for a vintage Fender Jaguar? An actual vintage replacement would be great..does anyone specialize in stocking this type of thing?
And why does the new tortoise design look so different from the old? Why can't they get it right? The new stuff is never swirly enough and it's always too dark!
