After spending somewhere in the area of 25 hours trying to find a white pickguard for a Squier Jazzmaster, I figured it out. As I think I once said, the Fender pickguard doesn't fit. The tone wheel mounts on the Fender are 5/8" wider than the Squier. Then I though about paint, but what a pain it is trying to paint plastic.
I drove past a truck today that was from a home rescue place that comes in after a flood or fire and cleans your house. It was a lime green truck with a lot of writing painted on it.
Or was it?
It was vinyl wrap! A quick Google search found a place 3 miles from home that did vinyl wrapping. I went to see them and showed the owner what I wanted to do. He said "Oh yeah. This vinyl will do the trick. He came out with a 2x3 foot piece of vinyl, saying "This enough to give you 2 shots at it. Just handed it to me and said have a nice day. It's whiter than the guitar, but it's better than the tortoise shell! Next week I will take it to my guitar guy and he will take it apart, and as a courtesy I will go back and have the vinyl place apply the vinyl so I can pay them something.
White on white Jazzmaster. Coming right up!

Great solution Eddie, looking forward to seeing the finished job, are you an all electric guitar guy, I did notice not an acoustic in sight in your guitar farm.

I've never thought of using vinyl wrap on guitar pickguards, but dang if that's not a brilliant idea!
Of course, I only own 2 guitars that have pickguards on them, and both look great to me - red strat with mint green pickguard, and brown sunburst bass with brown tortoiseshell pickguard - so I guess I'll have to buy another guitar with an ugly pickguard to try this out. Quel dommage!

Quel dommage, en effet!! Just dropped it off to be disassembled. I should have it all done in about 10-12 days due to coordinating schedules. I also dropped my spare EPS16+ sampler in for what would appear to be a simple repair (if such a thing exists). It plays via MIDI controller so the issue has to be in the keyboard's circuit board. All this JUST to dedicate that sampler to a guitar sample I need in 3 of our songs. It is actually easier and more efficient than having to change sounds on the sampler from horns to guitar and back, because the guitar sound is also played through a distortion pedal (I play "rhythm guitar" on 3 songs when the guitar player solos) and it takes very fast hands to switch back to brass and remember to turn off the fuzz when I go back to being the horn section.

SWEET! Looks awesome. How does it sound?
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

I really like that the photograph looks like the pick guard has a black, beveled edge. That makes the pick guard look as though the material is two ply. But, I guess in a way it is!

Yeah the place that put the vinyl on trimmed it so the black edge shows. I live it!

A few years ago a new car was getting raffled off to support the fight to cure woman's breast cancer. In addition to raffling the car someone came up with the bright idea of (1) painting the car pink and (2) selling tickets to write messages of hope and support on the car. The car was wrapped.
After the fund raiser the winner was photographed in front of the wrapped car. The wrap was a pink color that was almost a glow-in-the-dark, highlighter pink. Permanent Sharpie pens ensured the messages could not be washed off. Memorable car to see.
The following day the new owner was photographed beside the unwrapped and cleaned up car. What can I say, the car was white and bland.
There are several NASCAR shops in this area. They all use wraps instead of paint. In addition to the cars the trucks and trailers used to haul the cars and equipment are wrapped.
I've watched a car get wrapped and it is an amazing, detailed oriented task to see.

What can I say, the car was white and bland. That's disappointing. I'd much rather have a pink car covered in messages of hope and support than have a boring white car. Heck, I'd rather have literally any other colour than white!

I wrapped a car around a tree once, but that's probably a different context of wrapped....

I live in sunny Florida. A white car may not be the best fashion choice, but it's the best comfort choice. Up here in the "frozen north" we apparently like our cars silver - maybe that's so we don't confuse them for an igloo. Apparently the top three car colours in Canada are silver, black, and blue.

I think Florida may be a Spanish flavored word for "surface of the sun".
