Pre-owned in very good condition, this Tone-Guard Aluminium pickguard is a high quality replacement for your favourite Jazzmaster. 

From Tone-Guard

"Made of aluminum, these pickguards eliminate 60 cycle hum, shield against EMI / RFI interference, eliminate static noise and they look beautiful.

Heck, we didn’t make this stuff up just to sell you something. We did the research, experimented and came up with what we believe are the best aluminum pickguards and control covers for your electric guitar. Proudly made in the U.S.A.

Why do I need to bother with shielding my guitar?

What is EMI / RFI shielding?

EMI / RFI stands for ElectroMagnetic Interference and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI is just EMI over the range of 1kHz - 10GHz). Electromagnetic radiation and radio frequency radiation are all around you! Their effects on the human body are the subject of fierce debate, but their effect on electronic devices is clear. These interfere with your tone circuit.
Sensitive components and circuits can be disrupted by interference from sources like power supplies, fluorescent lights, electric motors, switches and relays, even IC's. The clock in your computer oscillates and produces interference. In short, almost all electronic circuits develop some level of EMI and / or RFI. Shielding from EMI / RFI is done for two primary reasons: (1) to keep your electronic device from interfering with others, or (2) to keep other devices from interfering with yours. Regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Communications Commission or the EU dictate standards for both emissivity of EMI / RFI and sensitivity to interference.

A note about plastic pickguards vs. aluminum pickguards:

Most plastic is virtually transparent to EMI / RFI radiation, meaning they don't do diddly to stop the interference. Plastics, by their very nature of being non-conductive, do not attenuate EMI and require shielding systems be incorporated to ensure reliable pickup and tone circuit performance."
