Hi all. New here.

Wondering if anyone knows off hand if an American Offset pickguard will fit on the Squier Offset without major modifications.

Or, if you know of a source for a Squier pickguard with a humbucker route for a decent price. I checked with WD Music/Custom Pickguards and it's going to run the better part of $75 to get what I want (leaning towards black pearl). Though, they do have the American version with humbucker route without having to pay the $15 custom upcharge.

I recently picked up a Paranormal Offset in Olympic White, and I also have a DiMarzio PAF in my parts bin burning a hole in my pocket.

Thanks.

Oh, for the record, I actually did ask that question of WD Music when I emailed them, and they didn't actually reply to it.

I don't know about humbucker routes, but I put a Fender AVRI pickguard on my Squier VM JM. It required filling and drilling a few mounting holes, but in terms of fitting the neck heel and bridge thimbles (the really important parts) and overall alignment on the body it's perfect.
