Where to find gold plastic?

Post by Zentner »

Hi Paul,

I noticed on an acoustic ric bass (quite awhile ago) you had a gold Truss rod Cover made up. Mind if I ask where you had that done?

Thanks!

Clear plexi and backpainted. The way RIC does them. Paul is the RIC authorized acoustic "factory".

Clear plexi, laser-engraved on the back, and back-painted. Also top-radiused and highly buffed. I am permitted to make these for my acoustics, and also did the gold engraved pickguards and TRCs for the 75th Anniversary models.

I'm sorry, but these are not available for purchase.

Hi Paul,

Dp you know where someone can find a gold TRC? I'm looking for one too, and gold pickguards for my 360.

You can get gold guards made by Tony at Pickguardian.

I believe he can also paint your existing TRC gold to match...
