tomhunt Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hi guys! Does any one know where I can buy a single screw thumb rest for my Fender 51 Precision? I brought the bass second hand and it didnt come with one but had the hole already for one to be fitted. How hard can they be to find...???? Been looking for a few days now! Hope someone can help!

Delberthot Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 That's where I got the one for my '57 single coil precision Warmoth bass in maple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yep - as Musky says [url="http://www.classicguitarboxes.com/thumb_rests.php"]Guy Lewis[/url] makes very good stuff & it's worth every penny, so much better than a moulded plastic T/R. I've had Maple, Rosewood & Ebony ones from Guy - they're top quality. Here's a Maple on my '51-P Cheerz, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 +1 to Guy for great service. I've only ever bought clear plastic ones off him as I make my own wooden ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have purchased a few from Guy, including a couple of custom ones he made for me, to my own design in ebony. Quality work at a very reasonable price.
