I need a Mk1 pickguard for one of the Morales I just got.
any templates of either I could print out and check which one I need?
one has a cracked pickguard with screw holes badly allinged while the other is obviously a newer and lines up perfectly.
given these are 60s japanese copies unsure what the spacing is.

I'd rather not make my own if possible.

is the original pick guard in good enough shape to trace at least the outline? the reason the holes don't line up is usually shrinkage over the years. fenders do that too. i would try to make a tracing of the original outline and have a repro made, but maybe without the screw holes drilled. then you can take it to a good repairman and he can put the holes in the pickguard so that they will line up with the holes in the body.
