[Wanted] Shiny bits for LP

klaasvakie

I've really been liking the look of the 2017 Gibson HP LPs, and I'm looking to replace a bunch of the cream hardware on my Epi LP with chrome bits.

The look I like is this:

So I'm basically wanting the following:

1. Chrome pickup surrounds (curved bottom preferred), for bridge and neck pickup
2. Chrome jack plate
3. Chrome truss-rod cover
4. Chrome knobs for the volume/tone pots (not too fussed about the actual shape).

I can find all of the above on Amazon/Allparts, but the local Johannesburg shops have met my request with blank stares.

You should be able to find a jack plate and knobs locally - but the pup rings and truss cover will be a struggle to find locally.

I was looking for some chrome bits for a project and there wasn't anything locally. I reckon the truss cover could be made fairly easily, but the rings could be a pain to fabricate.

The guys up at Music Connection did get shipments in from Allparts every 4-8 weeks, so someone there should be able to help if you don't want to direct import.

Thanks for the reply Meron.

Yeah, I managed to get a jack plate from the guys at Marshall, and I ordered the rest from Raru which seem to bring in Amazon bits at a not too exorbitant fee, I hope it all arrives ?
