Good source for an aged tort scracthplate for a 1970 P?

The original scracthplate on my 1970 fretless P is shriking quite badly. I had to take it off last night to change the settings on the P retro installed in the bass and it was a real b*gger getting it over the pickups, plus the mounting screws are all getting pulled out of line.



My inclination is to get a new one and just store the original in such a way that it minimises shrinkage. Any suggestions on that?

Will a standard Fender replacement fit, or should I get one custom made so it can be aged to match the condition of the bass?

Any advice much appreciated!

Cheers

Gareth

Contact 'The Bass Doctor' he has some lovely tort guards (look vintage colour not like the horrible salami coloured ones). He has all the appropriate templates so no need to worry about fit! ;)

Ah yes, I forgot about Howard! Have fired off a PM to him. Cheers!
