Warmoth, and yes, I believe so. I think the USA one might have smaller hole sizes. I'm not sure which one the Warmoth is, but it fit my Allparts (MIJ) pickguard, but its holes were a tad too small for my pots (MIJ also). I used an X-Acto knife to scrape the insides and widened it enough to slip the pots in.

Oh great, thanks!  I was planning on getting most of my hardware from warmoth, but it didnt specify wether it was a usa or japan part on any of them.  I have a deburring tool i could use to size up the hole.  How much did you have to trim off?  a couple millimeters?

Enough that it only took an xacto knife about 5 minutes each hole . . . not much!

The pots are def. Japan spec, don't know where they're from, but they're high quality. MUCH cheaper.
