Can i put a mustang pickguard on my jag-stang?
Authored by: johnniespring
Since the “can i put a stang pickguard on my JS?” question gets asked every now and again, i decided to take pics to illustrate why not when i was changing stuff around on my guitars recently…..

Jag-Stang vs Mustang pickguard
as people are aware, they look similar, but not quite the same (see above img)

Jag-Stang pickguard on top of Mustang pickguard
(pictured above) a jag-stang guard on top of a mustang guard, to show they are a bit different (note the wd JS guard has rounded holes for the switches - which is wrong and means the switches don’t work properly unless you file the switch holes a bit - also the wd JS guard is the same shape as the original fender guard(not shown in pic), but is about 1-2 mm smaller all around the outside, though the neck/bridge/pup cutouts are fine)

Mustang pickguard over JagStang
the stang guard on the JS. the guard is a bit too long to fit between the neck pocket and the bridge/control plate properly.
so there you go.
