long shot

[Rebel Skier]

i know this is going to be a really long shot but its worth a try.................

im thinking of getting a new scratchplate on my guitar and would like to customise one with a pic of mine...... just by chance would anyone know of a website on which i could do this.
Thanks,
Will.

Might be worth trying these guys, they can print on to most things.

I once had a mother of pearl (look) traffolite engraved with the Fender logo (that showed out in black).......looked great.

its a squier strat (by fender).

its a sort of cobalt blue coulr and i was thinking of a union jack design scratchplate for it.

Ok,

the way i'd do it:

aquire some 3mm clear perspex, mark-up & cut it to the existing scratchy that you have. emery & flame polish the edges. drill & countersink the holes.

you'll need a union flag printed in reverse (+ a white backing to make it opaque). place this on the underside of the scratch plate and stanley nice around the edge.

OR

you could take a trip to Denmark street in London & you'll prop find a union jack scratch plate already done.

Got an Ibanez 924 Musician bass myself - shame I´m not over in the Uk otherwise we could probably put our own IOW festival on in August!!

Hi,
Just for info here is a website of a friend I used to work with. He went from car design to building Guitars - don't know if they are any good but look neat.
