Installation relatively simple. Some attention needed when re-attaching the neck pickup and with aligning guard with plate around volume and tone knobs; nothing major.
Probably a bit over priced, like all Fender Brand pick guards. But overall very pleased.

Perfect fit and wearing well

I write this some months after installing the pickguard, I thought it would be relevant to wait and see how it would wear on the guitar. I have to say I've been really surprised....the scratch marks are minimal and the guard still has a new-look. I've had a lot of comments on it, one person thought I had it custom made and fitted by a luthier!!
Fitting it was really easy ....just a phillips head screwdriver ,obviously I had to remove the strings and have replacements on-hand (Ernie Ball.....good price from Thomann) All of the screws fitted perfectly and in about 20 minutes I had a scratch plate which would stun the audience Phil Lynott style!!! A strange quirk of the tele was fixed after I fitted this (BONUS) When picking the strings I normally lie my hand on the scratch plate (the stock one was plastic) I could hear slight "crackling" through the amp when I did this......I put it down to me being very "electrostatic". After fitting this new one I never heard this sound again, so the moral is....buy a decent metallic one! I'm very pleased with this addition to my guitar, it also matches the chrome hardware perfectly.
