Finding replacement pickup surrounds

[Coldflows]

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?

Messed up the images and got links instead but they work.

Thanks!

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]

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!

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.
