Pickguard for 1996 MIJ Jag-Stang.

Bklyn3

Hello,

I need a replacement pickguard for my 1996 MIJ Jag-Stang. I was hoping Fender would sell me one from the MIM production line however they told me it wouldn’t fit because Japan uses the metric system so the new Jag-Stang would be slightly different. Instead they recommended that I buy on from WD Music.

I contacted that vendor because the description was confusing but I got a much more confusing answer :

« It [the pickguard] is made to fit the American made Jag-Stang, It will not fit the Japanese models. The Japanese models are not consistent from year to year especially the 90’s »

I thought there was only two Jag-Stang made in the US. One delivered to Cobain and the other kept by Fender. Am I wrong ? Was there really a US manufactured Jag-Stang at some point ?

Does anyone has an original pickguard for sale? Willing to pay a good price for it. Or maybe a place where I can get one to recommend ?
any experience buying one from WD ?

thanks

Pat.

Hi! I have one you can buy, I pulled it off my 1997. It is very yellow, slight warped. Are you interested?

Sorry, I didn't see this until now. It sold on Reverb this morning. Was it you that bought it?

Hey, regarding the "American made", you're correct about the only ones being American were Cobain's. I'm unsure why they called it American made, I'm sure they meant Mexican made.
