WD pickguards?

[toomanyslurpees]

Anybody else bought one and found it to be a poor fit? I ordered one on line and when I got it the screw holes didn't all line up but aside from that I thought the gap around the pickup and neck were pretty huge. This was a guard with the truss notch, I bought a non-truss notch guard from them a couple years ago and it's a much better fit around the pickup and neck (and the screws line up...)

I don't have any experience with that company but I would only buy pickguards from MM from now on. If you need something custom make a template from your current pickguard and have it made from that.

Has anyone bought ones from Pickguard Heaven?

I´ve ordered three times pickguards at WD with and without the notch for different Stingrays (the last time only weeks ago) and they were all fitting. I´m mean sometimes they were not absolutely perfect, but at least the screw holes were okay!

I had a WD pickguard back in pre-internet times from a local company here in Germany. It didn't fit very well.

I would stay away from WD. In my experience, the fit was ridiculously bad, and they gave me a real hard time when I asked for a refund.

If you don't mind a substantial wait, Pickguard Heaven/Chandler guards fit like a glove (aren't they the official EBMM supplier?).

dazbootman who used to sell on eBay was the schiznit for Stingray pickguards

Chandler is where EB Customer Service sent me when I inquired about a clear Big Al SSS pickguard.

I've got 3 pick guards from WD for EBMMs in the past and never had a problem. One SR4, one SR5 and one Bongo4. They all fit and lined up just fine. I think I did a template for the SR5, but that was a long time ago.

I purchased or tried to get a clear one for a PBB Sterling. They sent me a Stingray 5 pickguard and when I called to tell them, I was treated so rudely by one of the owners I was shocked. Later one of the customer service reps actually apologized to me for her behavior. I was told by her that the pickguard I received was for a Sterling and it was the only one they had. I basically did not know what I was talking about. They lost a customer forever that day, still one of my worst customer service experiences ever. I ended up getting one from Chandler that fit nicely.

Well, I sent the pickguard back with the tracing of a stock one as per their request, but they got back to me that they were going to make the pickguard for my tracing as a custom pickguard and while they would give me a deal it was going to be 5 bucks more than their stock stingray guard and this pickguard would come with no guarantee, also I would be paying shipping (a third time) and duty (a second time)..... I just wasn't convinced I would get a god fitting pickguard out f it considering the fit of the first one so I asked for a refund. They gave me the refund but charged a 15% restocking fee which I thought was a load of crap. So I'm ordering one from Chandler....

WD gets bad reviews

Pickguard heaven worked fantastic for my Sterling

I've had great results with The Perfect Bass, as they sell genuine EBMM guards.
