Carbon fibre cavity cover

[petie-b]

I work with carbon Fibre all day long and have made some carbon cavity covers and truss rod covers for a couple of my basses....

I was wondering if anybody else on here would potentially like one made.

I havent really thought about prices but i should be able to make them up for the same kind of price as the plastic alternatives.....maybe less.

This thread is really just to get some idea as to how much interest is out there for a product like this.

I think you could offer some really cool aftermarket control cavity covers and also pickguards, etc. why not try to make a couple and see how it goes on ebay.

I think you have something really cool with a lot of potential at hand. It would be great if you could offer custome made replacement cavity covers. I would definitely put them in my Roscoe !

[petie-b]

I was thinking about making a few of the more common shapes and then if anybody wanted something a bit more non-standard they could either send me an exact template of the design or a drawing with the dimensions marked up.

If there seems to be a reasonable interest i would consider investing in standard pickguards and covers to use as templates but im sure your all aware that these arent cheap. I dont want to waste money before i do a little research into the potential market.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

I will be putting up some pics of the covers I have already made for my own basses as soon as i can borrow a camera.

That's a great idea!

Are there any tonal differences?

Tonal differences? From the cavity cover?
What?

I'd like to hope that this is a joke, merely poking fun at all the tone-voodoo people.

Thah is a great idea!, just out of curiosity, what would be an approx. avg price range for these goodies? (if you don't mind sharing this info of course)

[yooloo]

count me in! covers, pickguards, truss rod covers please!!!

The MIMF has a great photo tutorial of how to do this. It isn't rocket science to make carbon fiber pieces for covers and such. The difficult thing is when you're making structural parts and that requires some pre-engineering for optimum performance

I'd love to see a few carbon fiber pickguards, since the ones I've seen on eBay go for about $80. Seems a little high to me.

[tplyons]

I'd like to see some pictures for sure.

might be cool to get a pickguiard in CF....

[Akami]

Make me one for my Sterling!

[petie-b]

Here are a few pics of some of the things i have done.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers
