Thank you all for your replies! Yes, I am looking for something as similar as possible to the original when it comes to shape. I don't want the thickness of the original, however.

Hi! does anyone know where I can find a decent replacement pickguard for a mid 60s’ B25 N? thanks! Al

I agree with both of you. The plastic bridge shouldn't be there but they probably had a couple laying around and this guitar for some unknown reason got unlucky... The rest of the specs seem too much 'post -63/64' to make it anything else than a -66 I guess. Unless they tested narrower nut width etc earlier on some examples, but then the serial number should have been earlier too. Oh well. thank you for your replies!

Hi! I need help dating a 1960's J-50. (My feeling is that it is a1966.) It has round shoulders, the smaller nut width, plastic adjustable bridge, and the serial number is 854333. The pickguard is missing. I guess the main confusion for me is the plastic bridge, that I though was gone by -66. Unfortunately someone also installed a pick-up with knobs and all in the mid 70s, but that's a different story... Any help would be very appreciated! //Al
