Coldflows Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I am trying to source pickup surounds to replace the smashed ones on a Kay k20-b. They are such an awkward size and I don't think ones I cut out of scratchplate material will hold properly. Can anyone find replacements or point me to someone who can russle some up for me?

ikay Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) The original looks like an injection moulding but you could cut and shape a replacement from a solid acrylic sheet. Looks to be about 5mm thick which is.readily available on ebay such as here - [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Acrylic-Sheet-Perspex-Plastic-Panel-Material-A6-A5-A4-A3-/390782580358?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=660214772610&hash=item5afc74f686"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item5afc74f686[/url] Edited June 19, 2015 by ikay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldflows Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I have a load of spare scratchplate, the problem is its so thin on the sides of the pickup I don't think I can cut it by hand. I was hoping for a readymade replacement! Id also like a beveled edge and I wouldn't know how to do that by hand! Thanks though!

ikay Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 OK, a couple of other options. If you want a genuine replacement then try contacting a few vintage guitar parts specialists (eg. [url="http://www.musicmansteve.com/parts/parts.htm"]http://www.musicmansteve.com/parts/parts.htm[/url]) and ask them to look out for one for you. Be prepared for a long wait! Or how about talking to a luthier who does vintage guitar restoration and see if they can make one for you? A quick google in your area brought up Tom Anfield Guitars in Saltash ([url="http://www.tomanfieldguitars.com/about.html"]http://www.tomanfieldguitars.com/about.html[/url]). May be worth having a chat. If he can't help he may know someone who can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
