Good quality but check your sizing
I bought this to replace a red tort pickguard that came with a Harley Benton Jazz Bass. The pickguard itself is well machined with smooth edges and bevelled screw holes that show off the three ply (Black/White/Black) material.
My only warning is that neither the neck pickup hole and the neck pocket cut out do not line up with the Harley Benton bass I ordered at the same time. The screw holes also appear to be in slightly different positions (It would be useful if Thomann could provide a diagram with dimensions to allow customers to check before ordering).
Thomann were very good when I contacted them, and they have arranged a return at their expense for a refund.

Well made, great 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 has a quality look.
Just an edit to say that the pickguard has warped slightly just above the front pickup position. This was probably down to me not drilling a new hole and screwing the pickguard down into place. Just thought I would mention that the guard can possible warp if only using double sided tape.
