Anyone know where to buy an NR Thunderbird Pickguard?

[OneAri]

Well, dilemmas in the title

I'm lining up quite a good deal on a NR Epiphone Thunderbird, but want to get it in the direction of the 'classic' look with dual humbuckers bridge covers etc.

This means I have to replace the PG which is routed for P-bass pickups, my best googling hasn't turned up much and I can't afford a custom cut PG.

If anyone has any input as to where I can find one that'd be greatly appreciated

Many thanks

p.s if anyone also knows where I can get a repro pickup cover then you'll save me having to cut corners with a 58' style Pbass cover

I saw some Gibson type repro pickup covers on eBay a while back. The PG is going to be tricky. You never know what you can find on eBay though.

FYI. A dilemma is a problem with two solutions, courses of action, or two answers. The dilemma is which answer to pick.

Ahh TB, when you finish teaching me about basses for the day you take some time out to help with my failings in the English language :roll eyes:

Anyway, thanks for your help (I'd choose a more descriptive verb than 'help' but for fear you'd call me out on it )

So a problem with twenty solutions is a dodecalemma?

What's wrong with learning?

It's not your failing, so many people make the mistake that it's obviously an endemic problem with the education people receive.

I make the point so when others that the education system failed read this they will remember it because I came off as a know it all (or worse). AHA!
