Default Looking for Greven 000 Tor-tis Pickguard

anyone know where I can get a Dark or vintage 50s for 000-size? Nobody seems to keep them in stock and I don't want to cut one from a sheet. Here's a link to what I'm looking for.

You could always try Greven himself...he can do custom sizes and such.

I seem to recall the last time we spoke that he isnt doing pickguards anymore due to being busy with guitars but its worth a shot.

LMI has in stock the Mid-size Teardrop Tortis that I think would fit the 000, in contrast to the Small Teardrop for an OM. Same size soundhole radius. Call them to confirm.

LMI also provides PDF profiles of these guards in scale to a ruler, which may help you verify fit.

I've purchased three from them, and was pleased with the fit. Sometimes the pre-cut guards can be a smidgeon off the radius. If you have an experienced tech nearby, you could by a sheet and have him fit it to your guitar.

Default Thanks!

Thanks for the responses guys. I found a Greven 50s at FQMS but it had to be backordered. Apparently Turtleworks, a one-woman operation in Bloomington, IN, makes all the Grevens in her oven. FQMS has had 4 of this model on order since May. Being a one-person operation, the backlogged orders can really add up I'm thinking!

I did enjoy looking at the vendors that you guys suggested.
