Rafael López Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hello everyone: My name is Rafael and I am new to this forum, although I am not new to Epiphone. I have owned an Epiphone EB3 for years and recently purchased a second hand Epiphone Jack Casady, 20th anniversary edition. I'm very happy with both instruments so good job Epiphone! The fact is that the Epiphone Jack Casady is missing a part, specifically the switch plate, which is the part below the switch button. So I was wondering where can I get that piece? And in general, where can you get parts or spare parts for Epiphone instruments? Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Arnaud62 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hello, have you had any luck finding your switch plate? I have the exact same problem; I just bought a second hand Jack Casady bass and the previous owner removed that plate for some obscure reason... I like my guitars to be 100 % stock, and I love the look of that plate on my ebony model, so... any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Arnaud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnaud62 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Update: I just found the following site where they do custom switch plate washers, among other things: https://www.fretsonthenet.com/Gibson_Epiphone_Yamaha/gibson.htm I will order from them, as the importer does not seem to respond... I hope this helps, Arnaud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC_Casey Posted Friday at 09:44 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:44 PM Having a similar problem with obtaining a spare part for my own Jack Casady Goldtop. The plastic pickup mounting ring on mine has developed a stress crack (because of the slight bending it undergoes being screwed down to the curve of the archtop). I contacted Gibson service/parts dept., and they replied saying "I am afraid we don't sell these spare parts anymore. It would need to be a third party or aftermarket supplier for this replacement part." Trawling the web has revealed no hope of obtaining a replacement mounting ring from anywhere else. Consequently I shall now have to get very carefully creative with epoxy resin adhesive. Not a happy bunny! 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
