Yes, this is a long shot, I realize. Does anyone have any of these? I'd like to get two, but one would be a good start.
Thanks.

I see one come up on ebay every few months. There is one now but for a 6 string. I will let you know next time a cover is listed.

I managed to find one bridge cover. I still need one more. 8-string Stringmaster bridge cover - anyone?
Thank you.

Al,
Ron Victoria does metal shop work and was just talking the other day about making some reproduction parts for Fender Stringmaster's. He already makes the Blender Contol Knobs. I think the Bridge Covers would be an excellent new product idea for him. Wouldn't you agree?

Hi, Nick.
I'd agree with anything that will help me find the bridge cover, but it is a stamped and chromed item rather than a machined item. Of course, let's hope Ron chimes in because he has more knowledge than I do. Maybe he can also do those things!

My thought was to first made a hardwood mold and then form metal over it, using something fairly soft like copper or brass. Then it could be chromed. I think my plan has merit. The only flaw is they closed the metalshop in the middle schools.

Al,
Are you looking for the cover that has the two little holes in it and hinges up to access the blend control?

Hi, Erv. Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. It covers the blend knob.
Ron, if you can make these, you'd probably have a fair number of grateful Stringmaster owners.

Al,
I'm going to Bobbe Seymour's today. I'll check for you. With as many Stringmasters as there are still being played, looks like Fender would start making them!

Thanks, Nick. Any luck?
If you look back at the beginning of the thread you will see that I wanted two of them. I got partially lucky and found one. It's not inconceivable that I'd be able to find one more, somewhere! Anyhow, whether you found one or not, thanks for keeping me in mind! Of course, if you found one,
