Fender13-Hole 4-Ply '62 P Bass Pickguard - Shell
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement 4-ply shell pickguard cut to the 13-hole '62 Precision Bass pattern. For P Bass owners restoring or changing the look of an existing instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restoring a '62-spec P Bass to period-correct looks
- Swapping a worn or cracked pickguard on a 13-hole body
- Changing a P Bass appearance without touching the electronics
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Basses with 10-hole or other non-13-hole screw layouts
- Jazz Bass bodies — the cutout and outline differ
- Anyone needing a pickguard with a pickup route other than P
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
4-ply construction
Layered plastic gives a visible edge stripe when beveled, and more rigidity than a single-ply guard.
Detail 03
Shell finish
Faux tortoise pattern. Each sheet varies, so the exact mottling and color depth will not match another guard.
Detail 04
P pickup cutout
Routed for the split-coil Precision pickup only. A jazz-style bridge pickup or PJ setup will not fit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Screws are not included — reuse yours or buy separately
- 02Count and measure your existing screw holes against the guard before drilling
- 03Body routes vary between years and factories; test-fit before final tightening
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Mexican-made Precision Bass?
Only if it has the 13-hole screw pattern. Many modern P Basses use a different hole count. Pull your current guard and count the screws first.
02Does it come with screws?
No. Reuse the screws from your existing pickguard, or source matching ones separately.
03Will the shell pattern match photos exactly?
No. Shell-pattern material varies sheet to sheet, so mottling and color will differ somewhat from any picture.
04Can I use this on a PJ bass?
No. It is cut for a single split-coil P pickup and has no bridge pickup opening.
