Toasted Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 What sort of price will a pickguard be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Did anyone ever get their pickguards back? I sent him 2 a Fender Jazz one and a MM Stingray one and I still haven't got them back, I had a PM replied to a year ago say he was sending them but still nothing.

SMV Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Lol! I was reading through this thread thinking 'yeah I'd like one of those' then read WPD's last post and finally noticed the post dates... Is [i]this[/i] the legendary pickguard heist of the noughties? I thought it was just a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Wow 3 years!!! God knows how he'd make pickup covers from pre-made FLAT sheets. You can order these sheets pretty cheaply, the thing is cutting them right so they dont rupture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 [quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1245000' date='May 25 2011, 11:34 PM']You can order these sheets pretty cheaply, the thing is cutting them right so they dont rupture.[/quote] Reckon water jet cutting can do that. If people want batches done and can sort the material, I can get that done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Good evening, all... I've decided to branch out from my current production (see example...)... [attachment=80944:venus_de_milo.jpg] ...and propose hand-carved solid Italian marble basses. I will need a model or two to get my patterns right; could you please PM if you have a couple of Jazzes, Precisions or Rickies that you could lend me for a while? I will offer a decent discount to those helping me in this way. Prices..? Not quite sure yet (awaiting a truckload of rock from Padua any day now...), but would around £50 seem fair (less for those who lend me their instruments, of course...)? I can't produce many (hand carving takes time, you know...), but I can start delivery in about 2015. The basses lent to me will be mollycoddled (as is fitting for a model...), and will be returned as soon as I have no further use for them. Incidently, with my patented carving process, I can do an excellent tortoiseshell finish, if required, or even imitation carbon fibre. Thanks in advance for your kind generosity, you will be amply rewarded. Edited May 26, 2011 by Dad3353 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
