Thinline pickguards - Suggested places to buy them

Gregmw · November 2nd, 2009, 03:45 AM

Hi again,

Firstly sorry for the flood of "dumb" questions...!

I think planning is harder than building

Anyway,where do you guys buy your pickguards from?

I am after a Thinline (Single coil) in a pearl /cream/black colour but there doesn't seem to be a lot around or I am looking in the wrong places. !!

Thanks again for your help

Regards

Greg

Hola Craig! Warmoth.com would be a place that I think would have it, Let me know if they don't have what you're looking for, but they should for about $40-something.

Holden Hill Music in Adelaide have a real one in the old '69 style in Tortoise - they've had it for years. Call Steve Opitz Wed.-Fri. and tell him Terry told you about it. They'll probably sell it cheap and you'll save on international shipping. Cheers, Tonetele.

Just an update on what I have done.

I ordered the pickguard from Warmoth.I found that ordering a few hardware items (Bridge,tuners etc) didn't increase the overall shipping that much so at the end of the day it has ended up quite reasonable and I got the colour I was after.

Thanks again for your help.

Regards
