raze Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Hi Guys I have some carbon arriving the end of next week so its going to happen I have a couple of orders already Any guards I can borrow would be much appreciated If you have a guard I can use Please pm me and ill give you my address I cant give you a fixed price just yet but somewhere under £50 each but size and complexity will determine this. if your lending me a guard ill do them cheaper and Mike regarding colours to start with I am only using your usual graphite carbon weave but I may be able to offer the tinted blue, red, silver, Kevlar weaves eventually Edited November 27, 2008 by raze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbloke Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I would definitely be interested in a couple one for a Fender MIA Jazz V Deluxe and one for a Fender MIA Precision Deluxe. I am happy to leave coupleof pickguards with you for a few days- depending on where you are in Surrey, you might be round the corner from me too. Send me a PM if you want to proceed.

Rowbee Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm actually interested in a nice tortoiseshell pickguard for my Squier Vintage Modified Jazz and as it's not a standard shape they're not readily available in the UK. If you could do it at a reasonable price I'd be happy to post you my original pickguard to make a template? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 raze, how straight is the weave usually ? It looks a little wavy on the ABM case you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a little wavy on the ABM case you have there.[/quote] Yeah I guess thats not the best example I made that rack cover out of an old offcut of carbon from a huge sheet The bigger the sheet of carbon it is the harder it is to get a consistant weave pattern Thats whay ive ordered carbon for these plates in reasonably small squares that way they are pulled tight and left to set on a paine of glass rather than a desk Its never going to look as quite as perfect as pre-preg carbon but they will still look great I also made myself a pedal board out of real thick carbon ill take some pics for you later and post them its great lighter than wood and stronger than aluminium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
