Epiphone Parts

Folks, is there a reliable way to purchase Epiphone parts in the USA? I have a couple of EPI LP Customs (Apr 04/Mar 05 productions) that I bought used (more like rescued from abusive homes) and I need to find replacement backplates for them. I had one mail order site order me parts based on the s/n's but they weren't the right size. And I tried using Gibson parts (we all know how that worked out...LOL) Any help would be appreciated...Thanks

Ok, well not exactly Epi-authorized, but you can buy plexiglas sheets at Lowes and cut/drill it to fit perfectly. All you need is a decent jigsaw, some fine grit sandpaper to round the edges, a countersink drill bit, and some patience. I've used the clear stuff to show off my soldering and wiring and it looks cool!

 

PS: Get more than you need in case the first one is a bust.

Or......make a template from whatever, and send them to forum member Twang.

He makes that sort of thing, and is quite reasonable in his pricing.

He very possibly already has the templates for what you need.
