Jehle Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Well, my 2nd project is under way. Since this one will have a figured top, but I plan on loading the electronics from the top... I want to put a clear scratch plate on the guitar. I've seen guitars with clear scratch plates on them, but where do you get the material from ? Any links or suggestions?

DaveK Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Go to Stuart Macdonald's website (www.stumac.com) They have a self adhesive mylar Very thin & easy to apply I have it on my Larrivee acoustic & it works! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehle Posted March 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 If your going to cut your own the acrylic lexan stuff at Lowe's is cheap Thanks guys. I saw the stuff on StewMac, but I need the thick 3mm type stuff. I had thought about the lexan at places like Lowes or HomeDepot, but I kept thinking, "Nah, surely there must be some special guitar stuff out there." Works for me.

guitar_ed Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Hi, If you can find them, try Chapman Guitars in Chico, CA. I bought some stuff from them in the past, but now I can't seem to find them. Guitar Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulNeeds Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 As an alternative, there's place in the UK called the guitar shop do some nice wood pickguards in a variety of types.. bit expensive, but all guitar accessories (and guitars) seem expensive here compared to the US. Something to consider, especially if you have a bit of spare matching maple around afterwards? To my mind's eye, it would look better than seeing pots and wiring through a clear scratchplate - I'd personally have to rear rout for those at least. I gotta get a project going soon... who can I sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
