anyone know where to get pickup covers made?

Post by rabidhamster » Tue Oct 31, 2006 10:54 pm

I'm needing some special pickup covers for a project I have in mind.  Any ideas where I could get some made?

Hey guys, thanks for the replys so far:)  As far as what I've got in mind, its sort of a surprise right now, but the idea is itll be something both familiar and different at the same time.  Sorry to be so secretive, but I want to get things a little more fleshed out first, but I'll fill you in when I get a little further on.

The pickup covers I need to get made would be for a JM style pickup, only with no polepeice holes. ;)

That is a tough one I have been searching for years for Jazzmaster and P-90 covers w/ out holes.  It gets very expensive and they require you to buy thousands of pieces.
Gonads are useful for their purpose, but are NO substitute for brains.

bummer man:(  I'd given some thought to molding my own out of supplies from hobby lobby or similar, but I suspect it wont be anywhere near resembling the sort of plastic I'd like it to. 

I suppose I could always cut small holes out of a donor cover and glue them in, but that would be a major pain and probably still look fairly ass.
