I used this pickguard in the past to make a recent Standard mexican Jazz Bass, which came with a standard 3-ply white pickguard, a little more interesting for the eye and for the vibe of the instrument overall. It did fit the instrument just perfect, also making it look quite better in my opinion, being it a black body bass, it now seems a lot like an early 60s vintage model type. This Fender original purple tortoise pickguard just looks classy
