Pott Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I got paid for the AirZone so I can finally get this pickguard I want for the model 1a. I recently learnt that standard 8 holes Strat pickguard will fit so that's great news, but not all companies offer what I want. Matt black single ply, 2 holes (in between holes 1 and 2, and 2 and 3 compared to a normal Strat) for knobs, standard 5 way switch, routed for one hum at the bridge and a single at the neck. Now I know Warmoth would do it, but I don't know how it'd happen for the taxes since I do not have a credit card. If I get caught I wouldn't be able to pay. I'd rather call up a place in Europe (no taxes) or in the UK. Would you guys happen to know anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickguard Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I get the feeling like I stumbled inside your brain and I'm reading your stream-of-consciousness thought process? What AirZone? What's a model 1a? Huh? Anyway. Have you looked at the web sites for some of the custom pickguard makers? Maybe they already have what you're looking for. But if you don't have a credit card, how would you pay anyway? I have stuff shipped from the states, as long as it's not sent first class airmail, I've never had to pay customs/taxes.

marksound Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Charvel Model 1A? What you're looking for is similar to the old Fender Contemporary Series Strat (man, I sure do miss mine), but with 3 pups and a coil tap. Anyway, do you have your old pickguard? Why not just use it to make a template and cut your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pott Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Because I have no cutting tools and buying them would be more expensive than getting the pickguard hehe... Yeah I do have the old template. I just want a custom one for now. And yes, it's a Charvel model 1a, sorry I copied that from a forum where I show off my guitars a lot The DiMarzio AirZone is a pickup I just sold that brought me my first money into my paypal account. I can only pay through paypal, that's my main problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pott Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Yeah it blows. I'd do it myself but meh... No room here (student flat...) She looks like this now: And I'd like her to look like this... But there will be a Bill Lawrence 500XL in the bridge, and the Coolrails in the neck.

marksound Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Pickguard Heaven will make whatever you want. Personally, I'd just buy a coping saw and do it myself. But that's just me. (Psst--read the picture posting rules) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
