    RFQ-control plate for a lap steel guitar

    Was wondering if anybody would be able to help me out here. I'm looking to get a copy of the below pickguard made. Only difference I'd need would be a single pickup cutout instead of the two. I could provide the current plate to work from.

    Pickguard

    Forgot to ask, what are the tolerances?

    Do you want it chromed also?

    doesn't necessarily have to be dead on I guess. Chrome would be nice. I suspect this one to be a chrome plating right?

    Why not just refinish that one? You could sand blast and powder coat or have it replated cheaper than a new part would cost.

    I would if I was putting two single coil pickups back in it. I'm putting a single humbucker pickup back in the lap steel.

    Quick Mockup

    Do you have a drawing of how you want the new pickup located?

    not yet. Essentially it will be exactly centered between the two single coils that are there. It's also a Humbucker pickup. I'll get the exact specs on size for you.

    Here's the product sheet pdf of the exact pickup I'll be dropping in it. The dimensions are right at top right. I figured I'd use the two mounting holes that are between the two single coils as a location.

    Update:

    I'm leaning on just having this current piece replated. Anybody wanna give me a quote on that?

    buckkillr8,

    It's not your fault but it amazes me why the EMG company would leave out these 2 important dimensions on the pickup pattern?
