American Ash --> Nashville: Pickguard?

Hi, I've been looking through the forums for my answer to this, but thought I'd start a new thread too. Hopefully someone can help.

I decided to convert my American Ash Tele (about 6 years old) to the Nashville configuration since it's already routed for that. We had an Allparts 3-pup pickguard at the shop, but when we laid it over the body we found that it doesn't line up with the routing, nor does it fit around the control plate (switch/pot cover) properly.

Does anyone know if the routing in my Am. Ash is the same routing as the Nashville version? In other words, if I buy a genuine Fender 3-pup/Nashville pick guard will it fit my new configuration? Or is the Am. Ash middle pup routing in a different place than the Nashville middle pup routing?

I'm not sure if the problem is with Fender or Allparts.

Thanks all!

I'm not sure about the routes, but iIrc the American Nashville B-Bender Telecaster pup spacing is different than the MIM Deluxe Nashville Tele.

You may need to get an Am Nash B Bender pickguard ??

I have a MIM pickguard measured:

Thanks my friend. I think I found what I needed from WD, if not I'll let you know. Take care.
