I just bought a natural Fender American Elite Jazz Bass 5 and I would like to replace the black pickguard with a black pearloid one. The problem is I have no idea where to buy one and my google searches have been no go. Anyone have any suggestions?

They have a dizzying selection of pickguards and will custom-make a pickguard for you, as I had done with the Mike Lull M5V Jazz-style bass.

They have a LOT of Fender bass pickguards, but I’d call them and make sure they have stock guards for the Elite models. The Elite should be similar to other active Jazz basses, so I’d be surprised if they didn't have a stock model for it.

I didn’t see the elite model there but they definitely have the style I was looking for. I’ll give them a call Monday for sure. Thanks for the advice.
Did you find anything out on this? I’m curious about it too, I’ve got two Elite 5’s I’d like to change pickguards on.
 
I hope you got the right one. The newer elites have 9 screw holes and that one looks like it has 10 holes. Unless maybe I’m looking at the wrong one. Did you receive it from them and was it the right one? Thanks.
