Gold Anodized Pickguard Quirks

In this Quick Tech video, I'm fitting a genuine Fender gold anodized pickguard to a 1979 Precision Bass. These aluminum scratch plates date back to 1957 and the first year of Leo Fender's redesigned P bass. They were also used in the 80's and 90's with the popular 57 reissue Precision. Weirdly, their screw hole pattern is different from standard pickguards.

Love to see simple fixes for common problems. It’s always great to see how someone already figured out the issues

For those P-basses that have 13 holes, there are aftermarket gold anodized pickguards. Seen a few on Amazon.

If only it wasn't impossible to find gold J and P bass pickup covers. Been looking for months, at this point don't care if it's plastic or metal or I'll just paint the damn ones I have lol
