i decided i wanted to go with a different pickguard after receiving the kit so i ordered one from an online vendor. when it arrived i noticed it didn't fit the kit correctly. when properly aligned it leaves part of the control cavity showing. the jack hole is also drilled lower and with the jack installed it doesn't fit into the cavity. thinking the cheap guard was just poorly made i ordered another one from a different vendor which ended up having the same exact problem. i then figured pitbull but must be using a proprietary route for their cavity and a custom pickguard to match so i ordered a new pickguard from bitbull. when it arrived i found it was cut the same way as the other 2 that don't fit, not like the one that came with the kit.
has anyone else had this problem? Adam is looking through inventory to see what he can come up with but i'm wondering if there are other vendors where a compatible pick guard can be acquired. preferably stateside to avoid international shipping. i really never thought installing the pickguard was going to be the most challenging part of my first guitar build.
