Further to my previous post, it turns out the issue lies with the body of the IB-1. A few of the units were not routed deeply enough. I was advised to try and reduse the thickness, which I was not comfortable with. As careful as I was, my worst fears eventuated.Attachment 29066.
Any ideas as far as Toggle switch plates or pick guards available, to repair it without ordereing a body and spending more money on paint?
So that's the front of the body? Is it the toggle switch? You could perhaps use a treble/rhythm ring like a les Paul does which might cover the damage, its hard to see the size in that photo
That's not a bad idea, can we get a zoomed out pic as well?
Strat blade selector switch setup.....might need a small plate made up from a pick guard off cut and screw down from on top. Alternatively a bit of timber veneer could do the same thing and maybe painted to match or in a contrasting colour?

Looks like a possible solution. I just wish they had the dimensions on there. Same with some of the 5 way switches.Quote:

Though you might be best looking for a real Ibanez one.
Looks like that might do the job. Dimensions look good. Now I have to find one closer to home with cheaper freight options. :-)Quote:
