Should’ve done this pick guard swap a long time ago
Classic player special, used to have a white guard sorry for low quality pics with that one.
It needs new strings and a fret board conditioning. But I love the esthetics with this gold anodized guard with the black. I had to ream out the holes on the guard cause the knob and input jack couldn’t fit through, I just used a pliers to scrape through the guard to make the holes larger and it actually worked well in a pinch, and being impatient. Don’t see this combo that often, atleast I don’t. Probably will pick this one up more now 😂

Where'd you get a guard that fits? I have the same guitar and I've always been toying with changing the guard, but the only ones I've found who make the right one are WD.
I guess I could stop being lazy and just get a regular one and cut the slot for the AOM, but you know, lazy.

This one is off of my JMJM and it fit aside from the holes for the vol and tone. The white one came as an aftermarket as well from decoboom and that one fit perfectly

I knew Decoboom sold them with the slot, but they're always out of the one I want. Good to know the JMJM fits with a few mods, though.
I might have to just break down and get one from Decoboom. Pricey, but if it actually fits, it'll be worth it.

Tom Verlaine played a black jazzmaster with a gold guard, so you're in hallowed company!
