Fender13-Hole Standard P Bass Pickguard - Black
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement pickguard for 13-hole Standard-series P Basses in black. For refinishing a Mexican-made Precision or swapping a worn or discolored guard.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refreshing a scratched or yellowed guard on a Standard P Bass
- Changing the look of a sunburst or white body
- Keeping a spare on hand for gigging basses
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- American Standard or vintage P Basses with different hole counts
- Jazz Bass bodies — the shape and cutout do not match
- Anyone wanting shielding upgrades; this is a cosmetic part
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
P pickup cutout
Routed for a split-coil Precision pickup only. A P/J or J-only bass will not line up.
Detail 03
Black finish
Hides pick scratches better than white or pearl, and gives high contrast on natural, sunburst, and white bodies.
Detail 04
Fender-made part
Cut to factory dimensions, so the outline follows the body edge without sanding or filing.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Count your existing screw holes before ordering — patterns vary across P Bass series
- 02Screws are not included; reuse the ones already in your bass
- 03Pickup and control cavity shielding, if any, stays with the old guard
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit an American Professional P Bass?
No. This is drilled for the 13-hole Standard-series pattern. American Professional and other series use different hole counts and spacing.
02Do I need to remove the strings to install it?
Yes, or at least loosen them fully. The guard sits under the pickup and around the neck pocket, so the neck end has to clear.
03Does it come with screws?
No. Reuse the screws from your current pickguard.
04Will it fit a P/J bass with a bridge pickup?
No. This is cut for a split-coil P pickup only, with no bridge pickup opening.
