Hi Matt,

Thank you for the inquiry.
We can supply you with the Fender pickguard and case but I've just 
checked with Fender, the case is in stock, but the pickguard's not and 
there's no eta, it just says 12 months+.
The other thing is that we don't offer a repair service to customer 
guitars (unless under warranty) but we can recommend a couple of local
techs depending on where you live.
As for your Jem, I think the PX value would be around £200 ish in case 
you did want to go ahead an order of any kind
Please let us know if we can help further

Kind Regards.

Tim.
