Fender'62 Jazzmaster Tortoiseshell Pickguard
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement tortoiseshell pickguard cut to the '62 Jazzmaster pattern, for players restoring or changing the look of an offset with two single-coils.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swapping a Jazzmaster's look without touching wiring or hardware
- Restoring a '62-spec offset to period-correct appearance
- Replacing a cracked, faded, or yellowed original guard
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jaguars, Mustangs, or any non-Jazzmaster offset body
- Humbucker-routed or modified Jazzmasters
- Players expecting a tone change — a pickguard is cosmetic
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
SS pickup configuration
The openings are cut for two Jazzmaster-sized single-coils. Humbuckers or P-90s won't drop into these routes.
Detail 03
Offset body shape
Jazzmaster-specific outline. It won't match a Jaguar, Mustang, or Strat body, even though they look related at a glance.
Detail 04
Tortoiseshell finish
A mottled amber-and-brown pattern. Each guard's grain differs, so it won't match another tortoise piece exactly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Screw holes may need slight enlarging or redrilling on non-original bodies
- 02No screws, shielding, pickups, or electronics included
- 03Compare your guard's outline and hole count before ordering — offsets vary by year and model
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my American Vintage or reissue Jazzmaster?
It's cut to the '62 pattern. Many reissues follow it closely, but screw holes and edge contours can differ between years and production runs. Lay your old guard on top to compare before drilling.
02Does it come with screws?
No. Plan on reusing your existing screws or buying a matching set.
03Will this fit a Jaguar?
No. Jaguar and Jazzmaster guards have different outlines, control layouts, and screw patterns despite both being offsets.
04Will a new pickguard change how my guitar sounds?
No. It's a cosmetic and mounting part. Any tone difference would come from shielding or how the pickups are mounted, not the guard material itself.
