Brian Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hi Kurt76, The pickguard is actually brushed aluminum on a BSB. It would be hard to make a simular one out of some sort of plastic or acrylic material I think. You can learn a lot about those guitars here at Jem 7 BSB. And of course there is more than one way to do a burnt finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt76 Posted May 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Hello to all! This in the my project to do a guitar similar to the Ibanez Jem 7 BSB . I saw, seems that in Ibanez rules or jem site, that the ALUMINIUM PLATE COLOR PICKGUARD sell US $80 !!!! , it is necessary to look for an alternative, by Internet a friend sell a pickguard ibanez rg white color... I found a form to paint pickguard with painting spray. These were the steps: 1º leagues together with sandpaper to the water, very fine, I I use one silac 280 (of Switzerland). 2º a primer layer, to dry 24 hrs. 3º Painting with spray (it enamels) color chromium, 24 hrs, soon to sandpaper. I use paint that sell in Chile, marks Marsson. There there will be the many best ones. Until now is being: Here is a photo of the first step The idea is that they are 3 painting layers color chromium. Paint-sandpaper-paint-to sandpaper... 4º In order to finalize the idea it is, in the last painting layer, to sandpaper with sandpaper hyper fine, and soon layers of transparency acrilic lacquer It seems to Them a good idea?..The key as everything is the patience! When she is ready I will put a photo... Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Rosenberger Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Buy a clear pickguard and sand the underside in one direction with 800 grit sandpaper then paint it with silver paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryeisnotcool2 Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 or make it out of aluminum and have it chromed! just ask a custom motorcycle shop to do it. it should be fairly cheap. thats if you have the tools to do the metal work though.
