This is what I got for a 60's dark red tort. Too much yellow for me. I will try gig.ink. Thank you

This.  What Gig Ink do (brilliantly, I might add) is use clear plastic and the custom bit is what is printed on the reverse.  I don't think that would give a realistic tort finish.

Tim is very helpful in getting the finish you want

Howdy guys,

Thanks for the fine comments here - very much appreciated 🙌

Just to confirm, yes indeed I do produce my plates by bonding hi-res full-colour printed exterior grade vinyl to the rear of clear shatterproof acrylic & cut to shape, so my plates don't replicate original fit multi-ply plates BUT as well as printing your images I do have have my own library of designs on file which include a LOT of different torts in many colours which can look astonishingly good - plus the gloss finish of the acrylic can be knocked back with wire wool - or simply a green Scotchpad for washing-up - to give a wonderful soft sheen if that's your thing. 

Choices, choices, choices . . . hope that helps a little!

Cheers
Tim 🍻

That tort on the white bass is perfect. Can I send you my pickguard and we work something out? I'm just looking for an acceptable tort, I was fine with WD Music, so I don't think I'm too picky and as long as it looks decent, I'll be happy
