Well made, good value
This is a well made and good value for money pickguard that fits both my Harley Benton Fretless JB and my Marcus Miller V7 bass.
The fit is 'nearly' perfect on the HB Fretless Jazz bass, whilst the fit on the Sire V7 is not quite perfect but in my opinion good enough.
The HB Fretless does not have any screw holes in the body, so you may want to make some, personally I have just used double sided tape, as the fit is snug enough.
Some of the holes on the Sire V7 do align with the Pickguard, some do not - I elected to screw some in and use double sided tape for any other areas. Again, the fit is snug and secure.
The Pickguard is well made and the tort is a dark brown and subtle style - looks good!

Didn't really fit
I got this for a Fretless fender jazz bass I was putting together. The project was only a personal hobby and the budget was a little tight so I decided to get this cheaper pickgaurd. Unfortunately it didn't really fit the jazz bass body well.
The product itself was good, didn't feel cheap and it looked nice so i have no complaints on that front. Im guessing it would be better suited to an actually harley benton jazz body.

Won't fit on Harley Benton
Quality is good, but despite the label it wouldn't fit on Harley Benton JB-20, only two holes somewhat line up and it leaves a gap between itself and metal plate.

Not Plug n Play
Liked the finish when I got it out of the bag but that vibe was ruined by a nightmarish installation process. I was expecting it to just glide onto my Squire Jbass but I was forced to drill new holes as the pickguard?s didn?t match, had to grind a bit so my PU?s could fit and it still ended up with poor fit.
Not the best experience.

Perfect
Ordered with the J-Bass kit I've reviewed also. Surprisingly good for the money. I needed to fill and re-drill a few of the screw-holes in the body of the bass, but that's to be expected. Looks fantastic over the antique gold finish I applied to the bass.
Highly recommended.

Great Value for money
I bought this to replace the scratch plate on a 1980 Tokai that was covered in paint. This one looks great. The screws holes match up with the original ones and the slot for the pickup fits it perfectly.
Really happy with the end result.

Does the job.
Nice tort. scratch plate. Just be aware of your own measurements, it wasn't Thomann's fault but mine. I had to do some filing and cutting to make mine fit (it's HBs own J CC65, it didn't fit) so buyer, do your homework!

Fits nicely on my Squier affinity; not all the screw holes match up, but that is to be expected with an off-brand pickup, imho.

Perfect for my old Squier Bass
I have an early 90s Japanese SquierJ Bass and this pick guard is the best-fitting one I've ever had - The Fender ones didn't fit as well!
