Epi Embassy pickguard
« on: September 01, 2016, 11:55:34 AM »
     Hello..... Haven't been around in a while. Bionic Joe and I are always in touch, and he hooked me up with a '65 Embassy project bass.  No parts, needs refin. Have all the parts to totally restore it except the pickguard and one knob.     
      Have the original guard, but has the usual shrinkage and missing corners.  Searched the net, and couldn't find somebody who
makes that guard in the proper W/B/W  .060" .  I could always send the original guard template in, but who even has the proper guard material?  Thanks ahead of time. ;D    Tony

  If Chandler doesn't work out I have the material.
