Hey guys, where can I get a chrome pickguard / backplate blank?
Anything that resembles a sturdy chrome guard works for me

When I saw Weezer last year, the guitarist had a mirror pickguard on his explorer. The beam of light it threw into the audience was dazzling to say the least.

Pabs, mostly after backplates, I need to finalize the plan though
I may be interested in an acrylic mirror pickguard and trem plate, could you cut them Pablo to a strat shape ?

Yeah, I can do that no worries. Acrylic mirror is 3mm thick, a bit thicker than your average pickguard. Also, I haven't figured a neat way of beveling the edge, so that would be up to you guys.
