Mounting screws and pickup covers are not included.
Perfect pickguard ++++
Perfect for the aesthetic conversion for an upcoming project. It will look brilliant
Well made & accurately machined screw holes. It was also screened where appropriate, which was nice. The only minor problem I had was the wait time for the product to come into stock, which, given the general problem with Covid, is entirely understandable. I think the tortoiseshell scratchplate on the BMG Goldtop looks stunning. Mine has all the gold plated fittings too.
Quality is as it should be. The only thing I would criticize is that there are no complete sets (pickguard, half-moon, truss rod) available at the same time - depends on colour maybe, but that would be much easier to order. I also would like to find complete sets of screws (chrome, gold, black) for easier change of my Special's look.

Good news - we currently have full online availability of all pickguard parts, in all flavours!!
I recently purchased an older, used Emerald Green Special but was unhappy with the black plastic plates. I therefore decided to replace ALL the plastic plates with mint green ones by ordering from BMG. There was a small difficulty with the time taken & tracking my order as it was with the Royal Mail. Regardless - the plates fitted perfectly with the exception of one little screw hole in the wrong spot. No problem - a drill and a small bit took care of that. My Green Special looks great now and properly balanced.
I'm very happy with my new scratchplate , well packaged and a speedy delivery.
They look incredible. Very vintage appearance and really suit the red body.
All good....Nothing to complain about. Fast driver!
The scratchplate itself is very nicely made. My guitar is one of the older Burns models and the spacing of the pickups are slightly further apart. This means that it’s slightly short. I will be able to get over the problem by moving it down slightly and make 3 pickup surrounds, which will make the guitar more authentic.
