  2. Holy Smokes that was fast.

    Was late Sunday night when I dropped off the the 2018 plate :D

    Only discovered there were two types 10 days back thanks to a German fella.

    I bought some plate material last week but it is too thick for my cutter .. so I might need to order one .
     
  6. That's a pity, will you be able to find another use for the material ?

    Thanks for the heads up! I took the pickguard off of mine because it's plain black. BORing! But Ivory Pearl? You betcha!

    My sentiments exactly. I've had the White Pearl on my list for a while now. But since I rarely play the PB50 (it's an achor!), and I'm still waiting to do the neck thing, I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    Is he local to you?
     
  16. About an' hour away.

    I don't visit too often, his business insurance is strictly "employees only" on the premises. Not much fun hanging around the car park :D

    Generally I wait until it's worthwhile going. Next batch of Harley Benton plates will be old PB-20 & the new PB-20 SBK and a JB-75. A European source for Peavey T40 plates would be welcome so I'll be taking one of those :thumbsup:

    Been messaging him on eBay. Seems like a good guy and extremely reasonable prices!
