Mounting screws are stated to be included, avoiding a separate screw purchase if the supplied set suits the installation.

Cons

Customer feedback highlights perceived quality, fit, appearance and value, while hole alignment is a reported point of disagreement. That fit feedback is relevant because the guard is specified for a particular vintage five-hole pattern and the listing advises checking dimensions. The positive fit reports do not establish compatibility with every Telecaster model.

Positive themes

Customers describe the pickguard as good quality, well fitting and attractive, and some consider it good value.

Mixed feedback

Feedback on hole alignment is mixed, with some customers reporting aligned holes and others reporting misalignment.
