Guitar scratch boards for scale replacement ?
Just wondering if anyone has tried these as scale replacements ?
Seems to be plenty reasonably priced plastic and celluloid on ebay.

I think they would be too thin for scales?
How thick of material are they?

Hey Chev, I've seen some advertised with a 3mm thickness.
A lot of vendors don't give dimensions though...

They would be thin but seems like it could work.
From their stillness came their non-action...Doing-nothing was accompanied by the feeling of satisfaction, anxieties and troubles find no place

Interesting idea... If they *were* too thin, that would then open up the possibility of adding some layers and colour combinations.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Seems like they have sticky backs on them also? Originally Posted by Cangooner

I was just looking at Stewart MacDonald and they have quite a variety of materials, thicknesses, with, and without adhesive backing. So I imagine there must be many many other options from other suppliers too. StewMac even carry bakelite pickguards for anyone interested in old school plastics. Originally Posted by Chevhead

I'm always happy to try new stuff, Chev Originally Posted by Chevhead

Some are thicker than 3mm as well !!
Some are 3 ply which could be interesting.
I just haven't had the...errr, inclination.
Sorry, I don't mean to sound pompous.
I found these chopping boards at my local
$2.00-shop and I love the "green" colour.
I'm busy with them at the moment.
Plastic and perfect
