Alan189 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Does any one know where I can get the wee 'Custom Made' plastic things that cover holes left by the stopbar once it has been removed? I've taken the stopbar off my sheraton and put a frequensator on there as well as mini-humbuckers! :)) Thanks, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'd suggest going to a local trophy shop or engraver. They can make up a plate in your choice of colors with any saying you like --- your name or initials, your band's name, etc. Even "Custom Made" if you prefer. And the cost should be quite reasonable. On my Riff ES-345 copy, I replaced the stopbar with a Bigsby, and just left the gold ferrules on the holes, which I think looks better than a plastic plate.

tweed2 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Try this guy on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CUSTOM-MADE-PLATE-BIGSBY-TREMELO-/310365531138?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item48433a2c02 If you want something real unique, get ahold of John, at Terrapin Guitars. He can do almost anything you can think of. OK, now don't forget to post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweed2 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Very nice git. You know, I might have to agree with Parabar on this one. Such a nice looking guitar and to put that plate on it, is going to call even more attention to the fact that the inserts are there. You might want to consider a black or gold set screw (same size and threading as the old posts) set flush or possibly something like this > Either one would "blend in" better. Still I like what you've done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I say leave the plate off...those screws might look OK, or just leave the threads open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
