Johnny Foreigner Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Any recommendations for where to buy (online, US) sheets of plastic to make control cavity covers? Around 0.125". I've looked at the serious plastics suppliers and they deal in sheets 2' x 4' and have a bewildering number of options, none of which is called "simple plastic sheet for guitar control cavity covers". Thx Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Foreigner Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 tapplastics.com does cast acrylic (colored, transparent, color transparent, etc) by the inch. Going to go with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_c Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I use this PET sheet stuff to make cavity covers... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2MM-THICK-BLACK-EMBO...=item53d9924121 it's a close texture match to the aluminium covers that are on a few of my guitars and it is very easy to cut and shape. Here is how they look.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripthorn Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I like onlinemetals.com for both metal and plastic in small quantities. Good prices, though shipping can get ya if you're not careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratoskier Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I've used the pickguard material from Stew-Mac for cavity covers and it worked well. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Pickguards/Pic..._materials.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Foreigner Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I've used the pickguard material from Stew-Mac for cavity covers and it worked well. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Pickguards/Pic..._materials.html I've used that but found it too thin. The precut covers they sell run 1/8" thick, but the sheets only go to 0.083" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
