Description
A pickguard swap is one of the fastest ways to breathe new life into a Jazz Bass, and this one nails the vintage vibe with classic tortoise shell coloring. Built specifically for American Vintage ’62 Jazz Bass models (four-string only, not compatible with five-string basses), it’s the real deal for players chasing that early-60s look and feel.
Heads up on installation: while the outline matches a standard modern Jazz Bass pickguard, this version adds an extra mounting-screw hole positioned just above the neck pickup to match the original ’62 spec. That means you’ll need to drill your body for that hole – not a bolt-on, plug-and-play part. Worth knowing before you commit to the swap, but a small price for period-correct authenticity.
Key details:
- Multi-ply construction for that layered, vintage-correct depth
- 11 mounting-screw holes total
- Extra holes pre-drilled for pickup cover and thumb rest
- Truss-rod adjustment notch included
- Designed specifically for American Vintage ’62 Jazz Bass models
Whether you’re restoring a project bass or just want your Jazz to look as good as it sounds on stage, this pickguard delivers the tortoise shell warmth that’s become synonymous with the Jazz Bass tone and attitude.
