Title: Where to get thin w/b/w .060 pg material?
Post by: godofthunder on April 24, 2014, 09:04:27 AM

Well I'm screwed Chandler no longer has the thin .060 pg material I need for my Thunderbird pgs. Does anyone know of another source? Maddening.

Pickguardian here in town shows it as an available material.  Maybe he could help you.

 Thanks Gary. I looked through I didn't see it, only single ply white. I sent them a email maybe they have it. Fingers crossed.

Well Pigckguardian didn't have it but they sent me to Innovative Plastics who actually manufacture the material. I got more material for a lot less money  ;D It should be here in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the lead Gary!

I wouldn't mind a black/white/black on for my black BACH.

I may also need a replacement for my '60s as I suspect it's shrunk a little bit. The hole for the pickup isn't quite large enough!

Dennis, The problem is I have these made up by a good friend. I used to run his add specialty/engraving manufacturing years ago. Now I drop off material pay for his guys time and they run them for me, I can't do one ofs. I wish I could and at some point I may buy machines to do it but that is a big expenditure and to be honest I'm Thunderbird myopic I don't care to make strat pgs.
