KiOgon Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Does anyone know where to get custom pick-guards in this country? Something like this: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220577921635&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]Nice pick-guard[/url] Cheers, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I've bought a few on EBay. Does it have to be UK? I've had several imported from the USA & they only take a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bass Doc Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I have been known to make 'one-offs' - anything in particular you're after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sims Black Pearl I suppose is closest & yes it's for my '51 P ri MIJ.

karlfer Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Try Aurora Project's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_B Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I'd be wary of Aurora. They made me two - one of which was good, one of which was really shoddy so I sent it back. And they have yet to refund me for it. It's taken them nearly 2 months so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Do a deal with the Bass Doc. Leo Fender shook the Doc's hand - the Doc's hand touches [i]your[/i] scratchplate - instant Mojo and £100 on the value of the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
