Does anyone know where to get custom pick-guards in this country?
Something like this: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220577921635&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]Nice pick-guard[/url]

Cheers,
John

I often get strings & odds from the states with no problems, thought I might be able to save a few bucks getting one closer to home!

Thanks for the link - they seem expensive - I'll ask for a quote when I decide exactly what I want.

That sounds like the best offer I've had :) I'm fancying the 'Black Abalone' as in the ebay link, maybe a little more black than that particular one if that makes sense? The Sims Black Pearl I suppose is closest & yes it's for my '51 P ri MIJ.

Cheers all for the replies,
John

Leo Fender shook the Doc's hand - the Doc's hand touches [i]your[/i] scratchplate - instant Mojo and £100 on the value of the bass. :rolleyes:[/quote]

Cheers skank - it's already happening :)

[quote name='Jerry_B' post='816745' date='Apr 23 2010, 09:48 PM']I'd be wary of Aurora. They made me two - one of which was good, one of which was really shoddy so I sent it back. And they have yet to refund me for it. It's taken them nearly 2 months so far.[/quote]

+1

I ordered two from them and they were both pretty shocking. I never sent it back or complained, but based on your experiences, it wouldn't have done me much good, so I'll settle for spreading the love instead.
