I ordered this black pickguard to replace the white one on my Harley Benton PB-20 BK. I had read a previous review that said it fitted well. The guard arrived quickly and was well packaged. As usual it still had the protective clear film attached and close inspection showed a well made product. I had assumed that this would be a quick and simple replacement job. I was wrong.
Both guards have a small piece of foil attached to screen the electrics. This is slightly bigger on the new guard than the old. I removed the pots and socket and tried to fit to the new guard, at this point I noticed that the old one has location detents cut into it for the pot anti twist lugs. I did not feel confident in cutting these into the new guard and removed the lugs from the pots with side cutters. I then offered up the new guard and was surprised that it would not fit over the pick-ups as the holes were too small. I removed the electrics and compared the two guards. The new one has smaller cut-outs for the pick-ups and at least one of the screw mounting holes is in the wrong place. I decided not to return the guard to Thomann for a refund as there was enough guard to file and make fit. I did this and the new guard looks great. This may well be a 'one off' with the guard I was sent. I now have a black precision that matches my Harley Benton JB-70 Rosewood Deluxe jazz. I de-fretted the precision, installed maple veneer and then coated the fretboard with super glue, works really well.

disapointed
Benjamin-H 13.02.2022
I wanted to replace the pick guard from the "Harley Benton PB-20 SBK Standard Series" with this one to get an all black look but when i tried to put it in place i found out the holes for the screws didn't match the holes on the bass guitar, not by much but not enough to fit.
I thought that because it's all thomann products it will fit without any problem but it didn't so i guess I'll just paint the one i have...

this spare pickguard is supposed to fit the current P bass Harley-Bentons and it does its job without problems. The holes do not align perfectly with the ones of the instrument (HB PJ HTR) but it went on without mods to the bass. It is of good quality and in my opinion it looks much better than the stock one (sort of fake tortoiseshell). The price is very good. Thomann service exemplary as always.

Worst fitting pickguard ever
Bassgoof 20.03.2019
I bought this to replace a white pickguard on a Harley Benton standard series P Bass, thinking that it would be a direct replacement, or that at least the holes would all line up. (They didn't). Then i thought, well at least the pick up slots would be correct (They weren't). Then i thought, well at least it will fit properly in the neck pocket...Guess what (no, it didn't).#
Still filing in the hope that i can make it fit.
Well at least it wasn't expensive, and the colour is nice....

Didn't quite fit the Harley Benton P-Bass.
Andy D 12.04.2017
I bought this to fit to my Harley Benton P-Bass and found that I had to file a little at the neck pocket on the plate for a better fit. I suspect this is more geared towards Fender-type basses and might be a better fit there.

The 'ears' for the pickup holes (where the screws go) don't fit the stock Harley Benton pickups either - they have the larger ears, but as I was swapping the pickups anyway, this wasn't an issue.

Once I'd made adjustments, all good, but I would have expected a Harley Benton branded pickguard to be a direct replacement without my having to invest time in getting it to fit.

Something to be wary of - if you have no means of filing a plate to size, you might want to look elsewhere if you're buying it for the Harley Benton P-Bass.

Fits Fender American Special Precision
JeanThomas 14.12.2022
It fits my Fender American Special Precision just fine (one hole was a tiny little bit off but you can still screw it in and then you don't see it anymore) and looks super badass in black.

Very nice replacement part
RPina 12.11.2019
The quality is very nice, almost as good as the original. In my Mexican 90's P-Bass there is a slight placement diference in 2 of the holes but otherwise, it is very very nice.

a decent item
Mike.s 20.11.2020
Bought this to replace the white one supplied with the Harley Benton pb kit, expecting it to fit as a direct replacement.
It did not, but with a bit of hole filling and drilling it went on and really lifted the look of the bass.
Quality of manufacture and material used are good, overall I am very pleased with the guard.

Guards against picks just fine
OldManPatsy 01.07.2020
I used this pickguard on a custom build i was doing so I was expecting holes to not align perfectly with the body I was using and the shape to be slightly off. A few new holes were drilled, and some sanding near the neck was required in order to make it fit.

It looks and feels just fine. I dont know if it's really possible to get a bad pickguard. It guards against picks, small rocks, rubber bands and stuff. Probably not waterproof.
