Fit Issues
Purchased to fit a H.B. TE-70RW Deluxe and unfortunately it does not ?
It is not just a case of hole alignment, I was expecting to have to re-locate a few screw holes. But overall it is slightly too short and would not cover the footprint of the original, leaving old holes visible. I'm not sure the neck pick up would fit properly and there are no mount holes - I now realise when looking at the product pics.
This may well fit a real Fender but it had not occurred to me that a H.B. pick guard would not fit a H.B. Tele - I appreciate design differences to overcome copyright issues etc. But maybe Thomann could give some spec's as to which guitars this product will and will not fit.
Shame because the pick guard is nicely made, nicely finished and well priced.

Erm, a HB plate that doesn't fit a HB????? Read the reviews, not the description.
I never read the earlier reviews, my mistake because they're right. I bought it for a HB TE-70RW and the holes don't align with the screws. How crazy is that?
The holes seem to align with my Squier Affinity Tele but that's a double-bucker version and the plate is for a P90 so that won't work either. I think if you have the squier or fendere tele as a P90/ single coil then you might be ok with this but I'm nit sure that I'd out it on a fender as it's too cheap looking a pattern.
The description needs to make this clearer as the obvious is acutally not obvious at all. It doesn't claim it will fit a HB tele but then it doesn't say it won't. I guess it's implied by the name only. My bad for not reading the reviews I guess.
As this is a cheap item it's way too much hassle to send back so I'm adding some felt feet on the back and using it as a weird-shaped coffee coaster for my desk.

replacement scrathplate
Very nice quality 'plate; I bought this to replace the standard white (nasty) 'plate
on my HB Tele, looks fabulous now fitted, though being a HB product, one would
have expected the holes to have lined up ! Not a problem; a minor niggle, maybe perfect fit on a Fender ?
Anyway, a good product and good value.

Fits Fender MIM tele
I just wanted to repeat what I wanted to know about this one, it does fit my Fender Standard Telecaster (2016) except it doesn't have neck pickup screw holes, but that is probably better as I guess some models mount neck pickup to the body...
Quality is better than expected, it is as thick as the original fender pickguard .

No. It doesn’t fit without making adjustments !
I took a chance that Thomann might have fixed this well documented ill-fitting pickguard by now (October’26). But no. You need to do a bit of very careful circular filing to get it to seat properly at the neck and only 1 of the 8 holes line up. But it’s certainly better quality than the stock black pickguard and it’s not too expensive - even with postage cost. So, if you’re willing and able it might be worth it to you. I think it was for me (perhaps).

Not an exact fit but workable
Bought for a Harley Benton T style copy with ash body, definitely better than the stock white option

Okay...but
Pickguard is a nice color, but there were no holes for the neck pick-up and many of the holes did not align properly. Adjustments will need to be made in order to get this to fit.

Make Sure It Fits!
I bought this for my new TE-62CC. It does not fit, and it's not even close - I mean WAAAYYY off! I'm not sure what Harley Benton Tele style this "Harley Benton Tele Style" pickguard fits, but it is definitely not the TE-62. Total bummer. Despite the lack of fit, the quality of the pickguard is quite good.
