This does not resemble a standard tortoise shell pickguard. If that's your goal, this is not it. BUT If you think of this as a brown pickguard with black and yellow marble, this might be just what you need.
While this is 3-ply pickguard, black on the bottom, white middle, the top layer is very thin. Not so thin that it'll wear through to the white underneath though. The bevel and routing all appear clean and well doen so I'm happy to rate 4 starts for quality, however...
I bought this to go on the Harley Benton PJ-4 HTR bass, but it *does not fit*. It does not fit around the neck pocket, many of the screw holes do not line up. (The control layout is also different but I knew that in advance). Frankly, I'm very surprised that a Harley Benton product for a P-bass doesn't work on what is essentially a Harley Benton P-Bass.
In light of the poor fit on a bass that in principle it should work on, and given the visual disappointment, I give 2 stars overall. I'm gonna send this back.
