This is an extremely high quality, good looking pickguard for only $10. There is no need to spent $40 on this, this is one very nicely done. The bevel is clean and all of the holes line up perfectly. I purchased a Fender Crafted in Japan Jazz Bass off of Reverb, and this was the first modification that I did the day I received it. I ordered the pickguard in advance and honestly wasn't expecting much, given the reviews, but this thing is perfect. Take note that this won't fit unless you have a Crafted in Japan / Made in Japan Jazz Bass. I can verify that it indeed fits the Crafted in Japan version of this bass, which were made for the domestic Japanese market, and not for export. If you have this model, it will say "MADE IN JAPAN" in small print on the front of the headstock. I assume that it also works for the Made in Japan models intended for export - but I don't 100 percent know if there were slight differences in screw placement between them, since the two models were built for Fender at different plants.I feel super cool now with my black on black Jazz bass. Honestly, this pickguard is nicer than the black alternate pickguard included with my Fender JMJ Mustang. The black shade was slightly different to the black of the nitro body, and it's not as cute as it could have been for that reason. I was expecting similar with this third party pickguard for the Jazz bass, but heck if its not exactly the same shade of glossy black as the body, giving an impression of seamlessness and attention to detail. I'm super impressed with this product and recommend giving it a try.
