Is Ric swapping for gold TRCs?

Post by Mr.Mow »

Hi guys, from what I understand Ric used to swap TRCs for whatever colour you wanted.. Are they still doing this? Got a hankering for gold!

From what I understand, the trade 'situ is

SAME for SAME


so....if you had a broken white plexi, you could trade (with $$) for an unbroken same white plexi. Gold for Gold, Raised Letter for Raised Letter etc.

If you have a raised letter TRC, you could send it to Tony at Pickguardian http://www.pickguardian.com and he can paint it gold, to match the gold Ric Pickguards he offers. He can't paint a Plexi version though.

I understand Pickguardian does a great job refinishing white TRCs.

If you emailed them, it's possible it got caught in their spam filter. Try calling them.
