Outstanding!!
I am very impressed with the quality of this replacement pickguard. It fit my Squier bullet tele that I am customizing perfectly. The holes all lined up and it fit around the bridge and control plate perfectly. The color is a natural looking "parchment" color with just the right touch of green to make it look vintage. A very pleasant surprise was that it included the mounting screws AND a guitar pick!! Outstanding!!!P.s. I forgot to mention that being a vintage 5 hole guard there are no holes for the neck pickup as it is supposed to be body mounted. I chose to simply drill two holes for the pickup so I can adjust height without having to remove the pickguard.

Inaccurate cutout, no back shielding
I bought this as a replacement for a early 2010s Squier Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster. When I placed this pickguard on the guitar to install it, I noticed that some of the screw holes were slightly off. However, the worst part was the neck pickup cutout on the pickguard - it was asymmetrical with one side being several millimeters too wide for a standard tele-sized neck pickup. The gap was big enough that you could probably fit a nickel in the gap. Definitely not acceptable.

Near perfect fit for my vintage ESP Tele
I bought the gold mirror PG for a 1980's ESP 400-Series Telecaster clone with the understanding that it may not fit at all; I was pleasantly surprised at how close a match it was.All 5 screw holes lined up. However, the neck-side pickup hole was slightly larger than necessary (not an issue) and there was some interference with the control plate (resolved with ~5 minutes of hand sanding). In addition, where the guard extends onto the horn, it does not exactly line up with the curvature of the guitar. Not serious, but worth noting cosmetically.My only other complaint was a small smudge-like cosmetic defect in the face of the guard, but it is nothing major.Lastly, the pick guard came with color-matched gold hardware (and a guitar pick!), which looks nice, but I ultimately used the original hardware, because the newer screws were thicker, longer, and coarser in pitch.Overall, I would say this is an excellent product for the money.

Very Fragile! Juice worth the squeeze!
I love the color and the fact that the delivery was fast! Downside is it is really fragile, I took my guitar to a very good Guitar customization shop and I paid only a 10th of the total bill because after everything else he changed was done he asked to put on the pickguard, he started and cracked it. It wasn't really his fault it was the quality of the pickguard.

Highly recommend the aged white guard
This pickguard is really excellent. The aged white is so much nicer than the refrigerator white many offer and is well made. The fit on my new Fender Vintera Tele was perfect. They do need to offer the aged white in a 1 ply guard though but the 3 ply does look great.

It fit my Squier, don't know about yours
Fit like it was made for my Squier Classic Vibe Custom Telecaster. I mean, this was a perfect fit. Nothing to shape, nothing to drill. Just plop it on and insert screws. It is what it is as far as pick guards. Pretty good quality at a decent price. Love the look on my sunburst CVC.

Very thick plastic be aware
Its a very thick pickguard. The original tele is thin so its level with the chrome Plate that covers the volume, tone and selector. This was over the edge of the plate badly.That being said, its a very solid and great product for less than $10, so dont take this a knock on the product. Its just not an exact fender fit for any fender telecaster. I have a vintage 50's and need it to be original, so I will need to fork up the $40 for fender....

Great pickguard, have a drill handy if your pickup has screws and springs
Make sure to notice that there are not holes for the single coil pickup, you might need to break out a drill to make it work. I didn't put 2 and 2 together before buying so I thought it was worth mentioning. Besides that, it's a great pickguard for a tele with a natural wood grain top. I'll make sure to update my review when I'm finished

Great fit on US vintage tele
Great fit on US telecaster reissue, I had my doubts and took a punt for the price but fit was excellent.

Looks good
Nice item, but the surface had some scratches - pretty amazing considering that there was a protective film over the surface - so the scratches were done prior to packaging
