This looks a bit different & I think a bit better than normal PG & screws.

Anyone care to shed light on the method of attaching this PG to body? Thanks & Take care. Bob

Looks like very small screws or rivets ( which seems unlikely) but definately not the conventional recessed PG screw arrangnent. take care. bob

it would be simple enough to glue a pickguard on, not so simple to remove it...

If its got holes, screw it on, if it hasn`t double sided tape works well.

On a black bass you can also use black PG srews.
Nice contrast to the chromed screws and hardware (when you have a black bass).

You can use double tape - but I wouldn't.
But double tape "gets old" after some time!
And incoming dirt is also a problem.

Don't but it onto the whole pickguard!
Removal would be be big problem for the bod - but it might become a problem anyway.

So, I would prefer black screws.
You should get a 20 screw package "anywhere" ...

The photo above shows what appears to be very small screws that are recessed. I was wondering what they were.
I would never consider double sided tape for anything beyond mock up certainly not as a fastener. Take care. Bob
