Handmade Fender USA Jazz Bass Black Korina Wood Pickguard & Control Plat…

Brand: Unbranded / Custom Made Description: Handmade, hand tooled, custom Fender USA 4-String Jazz Bass pick guard and control plate made of rare Hawaiian sourced exotic Black Korina wood. Size: Fits Fender USA Jazz Basses (4-String) Condition: Pickguard is a preowned, custom made item that was returned to me by a customer. I handmade this pickguard and control plate for a customer’s Fender USA Jazz Bass a few years ago when I was creating custom guitar parts in my home woodworking shop. I am no longer doing this. Upon completion and delivery, and against my instructions, the customer tightened the pickguard screws down too tightly, causing the delicate Black Korina wood (pickguard) to crack down the center. The customer blamed me and sent it back to me as a defective return. I meticulously repaired the pickguard by placing a veneer on the back, sanding, and refinishing it. The repair is hardly noticeable except if you look extremely carefully and very closely. This is a one of a kind set and it looks amazing. And the fact that it’s a match set with the control plate, you will not find this anywhere. I personally sourced this wood slab in Hawaii. Installation Disclosure & Warning: Please be advised that Black Korina is a very delicate wood and that it will not tolerate you roughly handling it, bending it, or cranking down hard with the pickguard screws. You need to be very gentle in the way that you handle this wood or you will damage it.
