Pick Guard

[GregD]

I've seen several pens with pick guard material for center bands and accents. Where do you get pick guard? I had a link but lost it.

Try the attached link. That's where I have been buying mine.

Hello Greg,

I get mine from Grizzly.com it is in with their guitar making supplies. A big sheet for around $ 8.00 .[8D]

A good source for sheets of accent materials is knife making supply houses. Knife makers like to put accents between the main handle material and the blade. And for many, a good source is used jugs like Clorox, but that is only in white. Soda bottles come in a variety of colors.

I tried using those colored washers on a Cigar. They were not the easiest thing to work with, but I was able to make the lower barrel long enough that the pen worked and looked OK. I am not good at CA, and the finish on the two washers I glued together isn't very pretty. Probably my fault more than anything.

Note to self, don't grind so much of the tube away when trimming barrels!

One more pen too nice to throw away, too ugly to really sell.

i bought mine from a music supply company called stewart macdonald. i think it was a bit cheaper than the grizzly. the sheets i got were 12x20 so i had plenty. i bought three different varieties. black/white/black white/black/white and black/white/black/white/black. got anything interesting you'd trade for a strip of each? i just slice off 3/4 inch strips.

I got mine from Stewart McDonalds too, super fast service at great prices.[]

You might see if there is a local used music store. I found a guy that builds and repairs guitars and traded a couple of pens for some scraps.

Thanks for the info guys. Stewart Macdonald was the link I had I think. As for locally, there used to be several people around that used to do repairs. Not any more. I guess they fixed them all.

Greg,

No need to repair the "air guitars" that today's kids can play. If they could play real instruments, the "Rolling Stones" could stop touring and retire!!!

Of course, they can play a record player, scratching the records-guess that's a talent. It requires little repair.

Guitar picks work too. Many colors, small size and can be "picked up" by the hand full.

I ordered several from warmoth, but have yet to turn them. I got the black/red/black, white/black/white, black/white/blank and solid black. They seem to be good quality and the price wasn't too bad.

I hear that! You hit the nail on the head with that one Ed.

I go to a guitar shop where the guy makes his own guitars. We trade pic material for pens.
