Control cavity cover! Help!

[Aria]

Dear All,

Could anyone send me a scan of the standard cavity control cover for the Warmoth strat? I just ordered all my parts today. I want to get a custom rosewood tremolo cover plus contral cavity cover made, but the guy needs the cover itself, or, at least a trace or PDF of it.

I'd be willing to buy one from anyone selling. Warmoth would not send it to me separate from the guitar body, which he say will take 6 weeks to arrive. I figure I can get the custom covers made by then . . .

My email is lotus.sunrise@gmail.com

Best,
Ash

None of my Strats are rear-routed, or I would do it for you. But, I'd also warn you that even digital renditions can suffer distortions in translation so I wouldn't trust one as a template. You really want the actual cover in hand if you wanna make a template.

Warmoth may not want to send you the cover separate from your body, but they might be willing to sell you one loose. Thing is, they have a $25 minimum order, or it's not even worth it to them to do the paperwork involved. So, do you need tuners? Pickups? A bridge? Some electrical widegetry like pots, switches, wire, etc.?  Make up an order and call it in rather than try the online thing, and ask for a cover then.

Of course, you'll end up with a spare cover you'll never use, but I can't imagine they'd want much for it. Once you're done with it, toss it in the Drawer of Misfit Parts. You never know - some rainy day somebody will need one and you can pass it along for brownie points or improved karma.

Thanks for the response. I actually asked and the said they don't sell them separately -- I just spent $1400 on parts yesterday!
