Tortoise Shell Acrylic - Where to Buy?

[flyinmysoup]

Hi dudes,

Any one has any idea where I can get red tortoise shell looking acrylic sheets?

Don't need large sheets, just about 8 x 6 inches will do. Using for a pickguard DIY.

Any lobang will be much appreciated.

Cheers!

Thanks loads dude... I was hoping to have a resource somewhere in Singapore. Shipping is 5 weeks away from Stew Mac yo...

Any art store in Singapore that sells them?

For such a specialised item, not much chance to get local. I do have a friend who stock these stuff, But last I check, he left with white or black or white pearliod. But his ones are very large pieces, can make more than 2 strat pickguards per sheet. I think per piece is about $80-90.

if u order stewmac and ask for overnight delivery - it would be within 3-4 days but postage of course higher mah

Whoa..... Sounds like I've gotta find alternative, or stick with the black one I've made in this case. Thought that a tortoise shell one would look pretty groovy. Fun DIY project. Thanks guys!
