    Anyone got a spare humbucker surround?

    So I was just putting the finishing touches on my GS-2Q when I realised (no doubt due to my custom pick up choices), I don't have any pick up surrounds. I've ordered a set off ebay, except the bridge...

    He did explain that he wasn't set up for it and that it's nasty stuff to deal with. I was just wondering if the end result will be worse off for having gone with acrylic instead?
