Rickenbacker 4000 Pickguard Search

I've been on a search for a new pickguard for my Rickenbacker 4003, that's similar to the ones found on the Ric 4000s from the 1960s.

I've already looked on multiple pickguard websites, and have done various google searches, but haven't found anywhere to purchase one of this vintage pickguards. And yes, I would be able to adjust this one to fit my 4003, no problem.

So if theres anyone that can tell me where I could get one of these, I'd be very grateful.

Cheers!

My best guess would be to make one, I can't imagine it would be extremely difficult. I know 4000's aren't easy to find, so I'd think a pickguard would be even more troublesome to find. Buy a pickguard blank a cut a new one yourself.
