i don't know anything about that place, and its not where I bought my gold anodized, i was just using it as an example of how easy it is to find shops using google. i'm sure you'll be fine though, site seemed super legit...more so than the site I ordered mine from.
Hope so!

I already bought one from Guitar Parts Worldwide that turned out to be plastic... Think the brand is WDmusic? Dont buy that!

i was putting mine on a classic player jazzmaster, and all the holes lined up perfectly, except for the holes that the bridge rest on. i had to take a tapered metal file and widen them just a touch. hopefully you won't have any issues. :joy:

Arrived today, will post picture soon..

A bit uncertain though, the 65 av has one of the better tortoise pickguards, although I usually dont like it.
Maybe the gold will grow on me.

i know what you mean, i'm just in awe of my 65 av tobacco burst. in nearly 20 years i think i have the finest example of a tobacco burst done right. I couldn't image changing anyting....excepte the pups for some actual vintage 65 pupus. but gold anodized is just so yummy. glad everything went according to plan with your order :joy:

I put it on, I'll have to keep it gold for some days to see.
Everything fit, and it was proper aluminum etc.
So i can recommend ordering there.
