Ready for gold decal, mini-block inlays and headstock binding. Need help on the custom aluminum pickguard. Can anyone recommend a shop that does this? Miles guitars is not available at the moment.

While waiting for the parts to arrive... Repaired the hardcase latches and hinges, glued the loose trimmings, minor detailing to make it usable.

If you can visit guitar salon or knoxville/carlsys (not affiliated), you can choose from a variety of brands and models and actually test fit the item.

Online you can check lazada or epektos. Be sure to choose metric (mm) for epiphones and english (in) for gibsons para fit.

If your Epiphone LP Standard has the Grover tuners and you want to replace them with Kluson (or Kluson style) tuners, I'm afraid hindi magkakasya basta-basta. Holes for the Grover are already bigger.
Holes for the Kluson are smaller and mas 'exact' para sa machine head post nun. However, may walkaround naman. Kailangan mo lang ng conversion bushing for the Kluson tuners para magkasya ng maayos sa butas.

What country? You might want to google local shops. Para makatipid ka at makasigurado. If you know the specific model of your guitar check out the epiphone site para makakuha ka ng hardware details.

I see. Wala naman magiging problem kung papalitan mo sya ng same style. As far as I know, iisa or hindi nagkakalayo ang mga sukat nila. Get some Gotoh kluson-style tuners.

jeba_03 · « **Reply #390 on:** June 06, 2016, 09:40:03 AM »

Filed, dremeled, sanded...

Test fitting. Kinapos ng elbow grease. Need a round file for corners.

jeba_03 · « **Reply #391 on:** June 07, 2016, 09:36:34 PM »

Finally, after hours of manual filing and sanding...

(Help replace stock gibraltar/ibanez with normal gotoh fixed bridge) Sakto kaya yung butas sa string and screw nito

Guys, anyone know where i can buy guitar binding sheets? Need something 13mm or 1/2 inch wide. Widest regular binding material is 7.9mm or 5/16 inch wide online. Guitar salon will only sell them if they are ones to install the binding.

Can i use electrical plastic molding instead? Your thoughts?
