I was in Glasgow yesterday dropping off various scratchplates. Fella there runs a guitar parts business so my plates were going to be templates. Took along a PB-50 plate,it was added to his inventory He must offer about 40 colour options between 1,3 and 4 ply. No idea of pricing,suggest you contact him through ebay. His is an ebay only business. Oh the man's name is Brian. www.ebay.co.uk/str/earlpilanzFit round control plate. Fit round the neck heel.

View AttachmentI've looked at his JA60 tortoise shell plate on ebay but have been unsure on taking the gamble. A lot of the tortoise shell looks good in photos but in person not that clever. I've sort of got used to the HB corned beef one on my JA60 but would like a decent one. Would you know if his are the better ones kodiakblair?

Before I arrived Brian had been all set to cut a tort PB-50 plate for a fella in Italy. Since he only had a cardboard template to work from mine was a godsend. I did see the finished product but social distancing meant I'd been stuck sitting in the car for hour and half. Bored and in dire need of a coffee I didn't pay much heed to it Same can't be said for Brian, he thought there was a white speck in the tort so another would be cut. He was also intending on enlarging it to avoid weak spots at the screw holes, PB plates are square edged and his customer wanted a bevel. Here's the tort plate he did for my Cabronita, sorry about the flash Attachments:

I've since found out there was a change to the PB-50's scratchplate start of 2018.
The horns became smaller and thinner.
Stole the plate from a pal's 2018 PB-50 at the weekend and I'll be taking it to Brian this Sunday.
There will be 2 versions available probably from middle of next week.
