lex..update...just got a '96 LPPP with a pinkish pg,since the hole has been drilled near the neck I can't do a R6 guard without filling a hole...have you got any blank materials you would part with?...

Mike, lex got his plastic from Allparts, as he stated previously. I ordered a sheet from them, and to my eyes, the color is a lot more yellowy-orange than I would've expected...but then again, I'm no expert in vintage plastic.

...Thanks,I'll have to look into that, Piney...the stuff doesn't have to be dead on...the guard on the LPPP is stock from that era,just a little pinkish and the edges are a little bevelled.I can't just cut an R6 guard, because of the neck screw hole location...

Frank, that was what I was worried about, because the stewac stuff is also more yellowy-orange

For anyone interested, the stew mac stuff is the same as the all parts and its too cream.
