3-D Neck Plate

[BAN]

Sorry if this has been done to death, but ...

Is it possible to get a 3-D version of my current neck plate? I have an early one of the new San Dimas stuff (#6099) and I'm kind of jealous of that 3-D plate.

I tried searching, but I didn't find an answer to this.

Thanks,

Nope... Jackson won't make you one.

Thanks. I kind of figured that, but I thought it was worth a shot.

Yea... I dig the 3-D plates, but the USA ones are hard to find. And you can forget about finding a 3-D Charvel USA plate for any reasonable amount of cash. Those things are practicaly worth their weight in gold.

Pretty much sums it up.

Who was it here when the Charvel line was just re-introduced stated that the ones with with flat plate would become collectors in a few years? Was that John?

It might have been JW, if he went by "jacksonguy" before becoming jcmktgguy. Whoever it was, they said that the early etched-plate guitars had a lot more hands-on attention by Mike Shannon. Here:

Wow, just came back to check this thread. Cool info---If I can't get the 3-d plate, it's a nice consolation prize to know that my guit (6099) had a Mike Shannon hands-on build. Very cool.

You could always get one made.. It won't be authentic, but it can be done.

How much will a 3D plate go for?

$250 to $500 on the bay for a loose one seems to be the norm.
