Fender 13-Hole Modern P Bass Pickguard – Tortoise Shell

Description

Sometimes the fastest way to breathe new life into a bass is the simplest: swap the guard. This Fender Precision Bass pickguard brings that classic tortoise shell look with a multi-ply build that adds a bit of depth and warmth to the grain compared to a flat single-ply piece.

• 13 mounting screw holes for a modern-style fit
• Truss rod notch included
• No thumb rest or pickup cover screw holes (modern layout, not vintage)

Fitment is specific, so pay attention here: this guard is designed for American, American Standard, American Vintage, Standard, and Deluxe series Precision Bass models. It does not fit five-string P Basses, so double-check your bass before ordering if you’re on the fence.

Because it’s a genuine Fender part, screw hole spacing and pickup routing line up as expected on compatible instruments, no surprise trimming or reaming required. Good project for a quick aesthetic refresh, restoring an older P Bass to spec, or just finally ditching that beat-up original guard for something with more contrast against the body finish.

Also a solid pick if you’re building out a parts bass and want the tortoise shell look without hunting down a vintage original.
