Where can I buy a pickguard with the truss access already cut out?

[vanstry]

Yeah, tried cutting it out myself, looks like crap, so I have to buy another pickguard and for some odd reason warmoth doesn't offer it.

So, anyone know where I can get one?

WD Music makes them for P-Basses.

Any idea why warmoth doesn't sell them? I mean do people actually take off their pickguard to adjust their truss rod? Sounds strange.

I don't know, but I suspect it has to do with the vintage of the design they modeled their product on originally. If it happened to be during the years truss rod adjustment was done at the headstock, then the bodies/pickguards wouldn't be set up to do heel adjustments.

Custom is their specialty.

Quick and easy job if you have a router with a template bit.

If the Warmoth neck & body I just received are any indication, it's worse than that: Since the 21-fret P-Bass fingerboard overhangs the neck heel & pocket, removing the pickguard isn't enough to access the truss road; you have to remove the entire neck!

...although, 4 screws versus 12, maybe I'd rather remove the neck than the pickguard?
