Hi all
I need a scratchplate for a '64 Vista Sonic, and with Eddie Cross apparently retired and the current Burns co. wanting what I feel is a jaw dropping sum to make a repro (£175+vat...yes, I said scratchplate, not an original set of Tri-Sonics sealed in a time capsule by Jim Burns, Brian May and Hank Marvin in a secret moonlit pact back in '64)), I've decided to have a go at making one myself.
The material (traffolyte) appears to be relatively easily available, and I don't foresee any problem getting a local engraver to inscribe the 'volume' 'tone' etc around the controls.
That leaves the 'Burns london' lettering. in some form of italaics. Anyone got any ideas?
